| It all started on Tuesday, March 3, 1998 in the Student Union Building on the beautiful campus of Norfolk State University. On this day four students, Demont M. Parker, Ditania A. Vaughan, Javonis D. Hollis, Larry Carpenter, Jr., and one faculty advisor, Professor M. Frederick Cole had a meeting and decided that they wanted to get involved more in the community and help strengthen the morale of African American males. They came up with the name Awesome Psi Awesome social club. They begin to define their colors, purpose, motto, and Coat of Arms. They then came to a mutual agreement to change the name and become a fraternity that will conduct a membership intake process. This was mainly because they wanted to have a close watch on the type brothers that was entering the organization beacuse it takes a real man to become a PSIBERIAN man. After experiencing some difficulties with designing their greek letters, they agreed to adopt the letters Pi Gamma Psi. Finally, the constitution was prepared to be submitted to the university for approval. The first two times the organization went before the board, it was rejected due to minor problems. On the third time it was approved in the spring of 2001. Now, history has been made and the first greek-letteredfraternity to be founded on campus has been approved by a unanimous vote. |
