I received an email on yesterday which stated this:
...members of Beta Theta Pi, the Fraternity that cites Alpha Phi Alpha in their history as a fraternal organization it assisted in developing at Cornell U. in the years of 1905 and 1906 according to Brother Hall and Charlie Warner, General Secratary of Beta Theta Pi and current administrator at West Chester University.
(It was a caption from a photograph. Brother Hall is our National Executive Director.)
Could a Beta Theta Pi member with access to a history book verify this? (Proper name of the book and page number would be especially helpful
)
Just so you know, several of our founders worked as waiters in the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi fraternity houses at Cornell. Though it is not mentioned in our primary history book, it is mentioned in our
Centennial Book of Essays and Letters and an unofficial (yet highly accurate) book called
The Talented Tenth: The Founders and Presidents of Alpha.
Please PM me or respond here if you'd like to know more from our perspective.
