BOLD Delta Kappa Alumni Foundation

Our Chapter Legacy

Over 40 years ago on Saturday, November 20, 1976, BOLD Delta Kappa Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., was chartered at the Georgia Institute of Technology, making it the first Black Greek-Letter Organization chartered at Georgia Tech. The man who played a key role in getting Delta Kappa chartered was Brother James Mack, a graduate of Morgan State University (Π Chapter) and the Dean of Pledges for the first two lines at ΔK.

Since its chartering, Delta Kappa Chapter has added 35 lines and 147 Brothers to its number. Brothers of Delta Kappa Chapter have served the Georgia Tech and surrounding communities through outreach, tutoring, mentoring, student leadership, campus service, and community engagement.

Those efforts have included outreach at Techwood Homes, the first public housing project in the United States; tutoring at OMED Educational Services and service as OMED Challenge counselors; volunteering as Orientation Week coordinators; and active participation, board service, and officer leadership across campus organizations.
