Chapter Profile

The history of Chi Phi Chapter, located in Denver, Colorado, the Queen City of the Plains, dates back to the year 1927. During this time there were several detached members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity residing in Denver. The members were Dr. Clarence F. Holmes, who was at the time the District Representative of the Eighth District; Fritz Cansler of Pi Omega Chapter of Baltimore, Maryland; Archiec McKinney of Theta Chapter, Wiley College, Marshall, Texas; and Bazella G. Rainey of Psi Chapter, Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia.

As a result of a series of meetings and the approval of the Supreme Council, permission was given to establish a chapter in Denver, Colorado. On December 26, 1927, a formal initiation was held, and Dr. J.H.P. Westbrook, Dr. T.T. McKinney, Thomas Campbell, Esq., Frank Brickler, Preston Wooten, and Dudley B. Luck became members of the fraternity in the new chapter known as Chi Phi.

From the begginning, down through the years to the present time, Chi Phi chapter has played an important part in many types of activities in Denver. Its members have exemplified the four cardinal principles of Scholarship, Manhood, Perseverance, and Uplift as they have gone about their different ways in contributing to the growth of the city. It would be difficult to attempt to list the many achievements of the men who have been and who presently are members of this chapter. Name any worthwhile activity, and one will find men of this chapter taking a leading role.

The members of the chapter have dedicated themselves to continue to carry out the will of Omega. It is this fact alone which guides the men as they constantly contribute to the growth of better and more fruitful activities in Denver.
