Definition

The formation of African American fraternities carries with it the roots established many years ago as evidenced in Free and Accepted Masons, and perhaps earlier via the Freeman's Bureau. Its implications for organized activity was developed at first to provide a social outlet, but then evolved to what is characteristic of ethnic fellowship. As individuals search further, the latter provides the foundation that many of the fraternities build membership today in an array of impressive service projects for which its members can volunteer. Black fraternities are a mainstay in African American Society not just for ethnic fellowship, but also by the same upward stance that its Caucasian counterparts share.


Historic Roots

These Greek fraternities have played a significant role in forming the lives of many African Americans to become part of society. The focus of this briefing paper will concentrate on the major "five" Black fraternities and what they have meant to African American culture including Alpha Phi Alpha (December 4, 1906), Kappa Alpha Psi (January 5, 1911), Omega Psi Phi (November 19, 1911), Phi Beta Sigma (January 9, 1914) and the newest Iota Phi Theta (September 19, 1963).
