Chapter History

May 23, 1941 marks the date the greatest chapter in Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc was built on the campus of North Carolina College for Negros (presently North Carolina Central University). Bro. Billy Adkins, Bro. Theodore Bell, Bro. Slyvester Carter, Bro. William P. Malone, and Bro. Ward Parham united to spark not the beginning but the foundation of a chapter that has grown to produce over 300 members each having left a distinctive mark on the history of Alpha Phi Alpha.

The Gangsta Gamma Beta chapter has been known to the world both in and out of Alpha as an active chapter dedicated to the cause of building a better community. That characteristc has shown itself through the countless numbers of programs and services Gamma Beta has provided throughout the years. Add to that terrific step teams and countless awards, one can truly see the light of Alpha held high and pouring out of the hearts of the members of Gamma Beta.

This legacy has been handed down to the newest edition of the Gamma Beta Chapter. Continuing in the footsteps of former leaders of Gamma Beta, the thirteen men that compose Spring 2004, "Armageddon - The War of the Worlds" are working hard to move onward and upward towards the light of Alpha. As the premier leaders of Greek life on the campus of North Carolina Central University, these gentlemen hold many roles on campus as have many in the legacy of Gamma Beta. With new and innovative ideas and a strong sense of committment, the Gamma Beta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc is sure to continue building great men and building great communities.
