Notorious ΝΣ History @ Wayne State University
The Notorious Nu Sigma Chapter was chartered at the vision of three previously initiated members of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. Williams, Wesley Brown, and Clarence Maurice Wiley petitioned to establish an undergraduate chapter in Detroit, Michigan after registering on the campus of Wayne University, presently Wayne State University. On Saturday
evening May 21, 1938 at the St. Antoine Branch of the YMCA located at 635 E. Elizabeth Street, this vision became a reality at the direction of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, Bro. Prince and H. McNeal were appointed as co-chairman and also served as the membership committee for this endeavor. Thus, twelve initiates were born and formulated the charter members and officers respectively; Brothers
Frederick Yates- Basileus
R. Fletcher Routt- Vice Basileus
Ligens Moore- Keeper of Records & Seal
Spearman Jones- Keeper of Finance
Earl Moore- Keeper of Peace
Hosea Young- Chaplain
Jack P. Hickman- Chapter Editor
Oscar Ligett- Parliamentarian
Kenneth Lewis, Edward Gett, Phillip Davenport and Elvin Davenport. Later that year the Nortorious Nu Sigma Chapter moved to the campus of Wayne University where students from nearby colleges and universities were privileged to become Nu Sigma members. Visionaries & Petitioners of ΝΣ
