Gamma Rho Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. Since its founding on December 4, 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has supplied voice and vision to the struggle of African-Americans and people of color around the world. Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African-Americans, was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of Brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The visionary founders, known as the 'Jewels' of the Fraternity, are Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy. The Fraternity initially served as a study and support group for minority students who faced racial prejusdice, both educationally and socially, at Cornell. The Jewel founders and early leaders of the Fraternity succeeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha's principles of scholarship, fellowship, moral character, and the uplifting of humanity. Gamma Rho Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was established at Purdue University on April 24, 1948 by the following charter members. James C. Butler, Chester L. French, Raymond L. Hall, Milton B. Kendrick, John E. Littman, William N. Lovelace, Jimmie Mosley John E. Rudder, Richard Wallace, Walter H. White and George A. Younger. Since its founding at Purdue University, Gamma Rho Chapter boasts a rich legacy of producing successful men. Gamma Rho Chapter has maintained the fraternity's tradition of excellence in manly deeds, scholarship, and great regard of all mankind. As a demonstration of this commitment, the chapter sponsors a myriad of community service events including: Annual Voter's Registration Drive, Study Tables & Tutoring, Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring, Food & Clothing Drives for the Needy, along with Alpha Phi Alpha's mandated programs. Affectionately known as "Gangsta Gamma Rho," the Brothers continue the rich tradition of community uplift and empowerment, as we live true to the Alpha motto: First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All.
