Gamma Phi
# Gamma Phi

Gamma Phi (ΓΦ) was a primarily African American fraternity founded on March 1, 1905 at Wilberforce University a historically black university in the state of Ohio by Gus Williams, Dr. Lackley and Edw. Clark. It is notable as being one of the forerunners in the African American Collegiate Fraternal scene.

The group was the sole fraternity on campus until the year 1912. Charles F. Potter the fraternity historian stated in the Forcean yearbook of 1923 that the fraternity was for a time merely local. The fraternity grew to at least three chapters, and existed on and off for many years, but the last known documentation of this fraternity occurred in 1947.
