Just twenty-four years after our great Fraternity was founded, the Dallas Alumni Chapter was chartered on March 9th, 1935.  The idea for a new alumni chapter started sometime before, when a few Brothers would gather with one another.  As the gatherings became more frequent and their numbers increased, plans began to start a new chapter. 

Eleven Brothers (many of whom were members of the fraternity during its infancy) felt there was a great need to bring the objectives, virtues and fundamental purpose of our noble clan to the North Texas area.  Those eleven visionary men were:

L. C. Anderson, Charles H. Bynum, S. H. Davis, William H. Fort, Carl J. Hines, J. S. Jacques, Samuel E. Lassiter, Bert. V. Wadkins, Richard S. Watson, Floyd Wilkerson and L. Virgil Williams. 

Brother Fort who was at one time Dean of Men at Langston University was instrumental in the chartering of the Alpha Pi Chapter at the Oklahoma school on October 28, 1933.  Brother L. Virgil Williams, who was a Pi Chapter initiate, became the chapter’s first Polemarch.  Shortly after the chapter was chartered it hosted the first of several Province Council Meetings.  The first of these occurred on October 17, 1936.
