Eta Psi Chapter History
The early beginnings of the Eta Psi chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. can be traced back to a conversation between two women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Mrs. Beulah Louise Witfield Mebane (wife of Brother Francis H. Mabane, Jr.) and Mrs. Aldridge "Zoe" Davidson (wife of Brother Stanley D. Watkins). That conversation led to a meeting at Brother Francis and Silhouette Beulah Mebane's home in Greenville, NC. Those in attendance at that meeting were Brother Francis H. Mebane, Jr. and two young men interested in Kappa Alpha Psi, Fraternity, Inc. Stanley D. Watkins and Gene Thomas.
Shortly after that meeting, Brother Manane formed an interest group known as Men Interested in Kappa (MIK) to guide those young men until a Scroller Club could be organized to pledge the first line of scrollers. Under the advisement of Brother Francis H. Mebane, Jr., a Rocky Mount Alumni Chapter Spring 1956 initiate.
