CHAPTER in January of 1927.
The first District Representative in the Sixth District, S. Herbert "Spot"
Adams established the formation of PI PHI Chapter of Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity, Inc. in January 1927.
The initial chapter membership (Charter Members) according to records of
the time listed the following members: W.H. Booker, Basileus; E.H. Hunt,
Vice Basileus; Thomas Long, Keeper of Finance; S. Herbert Adams,
Keeper of Records and Seal; G. W. Brown, F.J. Jackson, Stering I.
Hogans, A.E. Fortune, Harry O. Walker, R.R. Anderson, W.E. Harris, L.A.
Yancey, R.L. Douglas, and A. H. Pearson. Thus the birth of the 39th
Graduate Chapter of the Fraternity was celebrated.
In 2002 Pi Phi chapter celebrated two most notable accomplishments. It
served as the host chapter for the 72nd Grand Conclave, in July 2002. It
was arguably the best Conclave ever from all accounts. The chapter also
reached a significant milestone by celebrating its 75th anniversary during
the annual Achievement Week Observance.
Over the seventy-five years there have been too many achievements,
accomplishments, awards, honors, and accolades for the chapter to list in
this limited overview. However, let it be known, that the current generation
of members have kept the Cardinal Principles of the Fraternity (Manhood,
Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift) and the ideals and goals of the
Founders (Dr. Ernest E. Just, Professor Frank Coleman, Dr. Oscar J.
Cooper, and Bishop Edgar A. Love) since November 17, 1911 alive and
resounding in Pi Phi Chapter.
History has it that the city of Charlotte and the county of Mecklenburg felt
the impact of Pi Phi from day one (Jan 27, 1927) and as a result has
become the rich and glorious environment that we now enjoy.
