Pontiac Alumni Chapter Charter Members May 17, 1965
The Pontiac Alumni Chapter was Chartered on May
17, 1965. A chapter of rich Kappa history, based on
the concepts of the chapter’s members.
With the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and
the busing issue in the City of Pontiac, 13 educated
men of color came together and established an
organization for the purpose of filling a void for
positive black role models in the community.
Brother Fredrick Smith was the lead organizer of the
group and Brother Garfield Johnson was elected the
first Polemarch.
Twelve of the thirteen charter members have gone
on to Chapter Invisible.
