Which founder was designated a founder in 1952?

• A. George Biddle Kelley
• B. Nathaniel Allison Murray
• C. Eugene Kinckle Jones
• D. Robert Harold Ogle

Answer: (C)

Alpha Phi Alpha keeps an official roster of its founders, and over time the organization has sometimes added or clarified who is listed as a founder. In 1952, the fraternity formally designated Eugene Kinckle Jones as a founder in its records. He was part of the original group that started the fraternity in 1906, and the 1952 designation publicly recognizes his role in establishing and organizing Alpha Phi Alpha. The other names listed were already recognized as founders from the original founding period, so the 1952 designation specifically highlights Jones.
