The Galveston Alumni Chapter is rich with history and traditions.

The late T.D. Armstrong, a well-known local businessman and the late Cornelius A. Harris, a well-known educator, organized the chapter. Both of these men were members of the Houston Alumni Chapter.  Both lived and worked in Galveston and felt a need to have a chapter in this area. To get a chapter they needed more than just the two of them. They reached out and found six noble men. These men were James E. Coleman, Edward J. Crockett, William Jackson, A.W. MacDonald, Charles Moore, and Dr. Leon A. Morgan. Each of these men joined the fraternity through the Houston Alumni Chapter.

The Houston Alumni Chapter and the Grand Board of Directors granted our chapter its charter on December 2, 1950, and the genesis of this chapter became official. All of the chapter’s charter members were either educators or in the business world. Each helped to shape the history of Galveston and the surrounding area in their own way.

With ACHIEVEMENT as a base, our chapter’s charter members chose SCHOLARSHIP, CHARITY, and BROTHERHOOD as the chapter’s cherished goals.
