I am glad to see that people try to research and post some history. I have to disagree with the origin of Black Greek Letter Organizations. I am a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated.We were founded at Cornell University December 4, 1906. At the time of our founding..our Jewels felt a need to have a fraternity for Black college men. The opportunity to join white fraternities would have not served thier purpose. What will SIGMA CHI, SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON do for the Black community. Gina Lynn why didn't you join DELTA DELTA DELTA or GAMMA PHI BETA...You had that opportunity. The doors were open for you. Why DELTA SIGMA THETA? The doors of the white fraternities and sororities at the time when our organizations were founded did not welcome us. My founders knew what they were doing. Creating a organization to uplift the Black Community. I cannot speak for the later fraternities on there reasoning to start another when A PHI A was already around. We started out of a need.
