After meeting on different occasions during the Autumn months of 1911, Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper and Frank Coleman converged on the office of Professor Ernest E. Just for a most important meeting to hash out the plans for a Greek letter fraternal organization for Negro men, as they were then called. This meeting, which was not the first with Professor Just, but arguably the most impactful, occurred on a rainy Friday evening on November 17, 1911.
