CHAPTER BEGINNINGS
|
In 1976, through the vision and impetus of Carl Haywood, ten youthful (all were in their twenties) brothers of like ideas and similar attainment:
Gary C. Clark, James E. Dixon (Ω), Robert W. Fairchild, Michael C. Faulcon (Ω), Carl W. Haywood, Hilary H. Jones, III, Anthony R. Knight, Bishop K. Perry, Harold A. Thurman and Marvin L. Whitehurst (Ω) realizing that the value of our Fraternity was not in numbers, but in men, in real brotherhood, believed that the establishment of a graduate chapter of our beloved Fraternity would be an Oasis in Virginia Beach an area void of Pan-Hellenic Council organizations at the time. On March 22, 1976, National Executive Secretary Harold J. Cook informed the brothers that their request to form a new chapter had been approved and the name Gamma Xi, assigned. |
