On January 5, 1911, 10 Black men studying at Indiana University, Bloomington, founded Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. Almost 40 years later, six Black men studying at what is now ASU brought the first Black fraternity chapter to Arizona with Kappa Alpha Psi’s Gamma Iota chapter.
Current Gamma Iota Polemarch, or president of the chapter, global marketing junior Julian Flanigan and marketing junior Austyn Lee sat down with Student Life to discuss the daunting yet unwavering histories and victories of their fraternity and their chapter.
