Years before Brother Mitchell would stake his claim in South Dallas with St. Martin’s Place, the chapter’s popularity and financial success would be symbolized by another ACHIEVEMENT when the chapter purchased a fraternity house in the same area of the city in 1990.  After many years of meeting at the homes of various Brothers, the Martin Luther King Community Center, the American Woodmen’s Center and other locations, and discussing the idea of our own “frat house” then-Polemarch (1989 to 1991) Brother Carlton Barber “kommissioned” Brother Emerson Lattimore to conduct a feasibility study in the form of a survey regarding the purchase of a house.  Other chapters like Baltimore Alumni, Houston Alumni and Los Angeles Alumni boasted having their own “Kappa Kastles.”  Dallas Alumni would soon join their ranks.  Following the presentation of his findings, the chapter agreed that the time was right to buy a house.  Several Brothers agreed to help raise funds for the new facility by becoming life members of the Dallas Alumni Chapter by contributing $2500.00 to the Guide Right Foundation of Dallas.  Brothers Alford and Lattimore scouted potential locations and although a plot of land had been purchased earlier as a potential site, an existing structure was purchased at 2515 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.  The mortgage was assumed by Carl Williams during his tenure as Polemarch from 1993 to 1995 and would be completely paid off in 6 years.  This was commemorated by a mortgage burning ceremony at the house following a Founders’ Day observance.  The refurbished home, located in the heart of South Dallas, was now the new home of the Dallas Alumni Chapter, and enabled the chapter to conduct meetings twice a month, host social gatherings and initiation ceremonies, preserve important documents and store equipment, display awards, photos and safeguard esoteric materials.  It would also serve as the headquarters for our Guide Right Foundation of Dallas, Inc and quickly become a landmark on what would become a modern day “Black Greek Row.”
