Overview
The Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., began as a dream, a distant, but real hope in the minds of 12 Omega brothers in Decatur, Georgia. These brothers hoped to form a fraternal entity under the auspices of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. They dedicated their endeavor to the Fraternity's Founding Fathers - Frank Coleman, Oscar J. Cooper, Ernest E. Just and Edgar A. Love - and sought to emulate the aspirations that brought the Founders together at Howard University on a fall evening Friday, November 17, 1911.
Formation and Expansion
On a summer day on June 1, 1979, the "Association of Omega Men", which was to become the Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter was organized. The founding brothers of Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter were Lloyd P. Atkins, Alonza A. Bennett, first Basileus, Robert Cannon, Glenn E. Ford, first Keeper of Records and Seal, Alfonza L. Gayle, (Omega Chapter) James George (Omega Chapter), Alvin Sanders (Omega Chapter), Edward Hargrave, Jr., Ronald Jackson, Eric Turpin, Webster Wallace, and James Witherspoon.
Almost immediately, these brothers, who had just established their place in Omega History by starting the formation of a new chapter, turned their vision to the future. Their next step took place at the 59th Grand Conclave in August 1979 in Denver, Colorado. The late Brother Ulysses G. Horne, then 7th District Representative at that time, presented an application to the Supreme Council to establish a graduate chapter for us. The Supreme Council approved our application with one abstention. Thus, Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter was officially born.
On September 22, 1979, members of the Supreme Council signed the Chapter Charter. On Saturday, November 10, 1979, Brother Ulysses G. Horne presented the Charter to the brothers at the George Moore Center on the campus grounds of St. Philip A. M. E. Church located in Decatur, Georgia. Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter now joined with the many other Chapters in the Seventh District, which included the States of Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Georgia as well as over 700 Chapters throughout the United States, the Virgin Island, Germany and Africa; representing thousands of college educated men.
Throughout the years of existence, Kappa Alpha Alpha Chapter has remained true to the Four Cardinal Principles on which the Fraternity was founded. The chapter continues its commitment to social action and the Dekalb Community at large. Our programs and services are designed to aid in meeting the needs of all people and moving our society closer toward the goals of true friendship.
