The History of the Alpha Chi Chapter

The Alpha Chi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was chartered at Fisk University on December 3, 1927. Due to the resistance of campus administration to facilitate Greek organizations at the time, students who wanted to become members were forced to pledge at Chi Chapter (located at Meharry Medical College). This all changed in 1927 when a chapter for Fisk students was chartered by:

  • James Browning
  • David Daniels
  • Joahn Oats
  • Harry Shields
  • Mule Horton
  • William McKinney
  • Frederick Rivers
  • George Reynolds
  • Edgar Scott
  • James McClendon
