What was the first Black Greek lettered organization?

The first Black Greek-lettered organization is Sigma Pi Phi, often referred to as "The Boule." Established in 1904, it was created as a response to the social and academic segregation of African Americans during that time period. Sigma Pi Phi aimed to bring together a select group of educated African American men to support and uplift one another while advocating for the advancement of Black people in society.

Being the first, it set a precedent for later organizations, including those formed in the 1900s through the 1920s, which were created to address similar challenges within the African American community. The other options represent organizations that were founded after Sigma Pi Phi; for example, Alpha Kappa Alpha was established in 1908, Omega Psi Phi in 1911, and Kappa Alpha Psi in 1911. Each of these organizations has made significant contributions to the African American community, but they followed the establishment of Sigma Pi Phi.
