Chapter 1 of the Alpha Phi Alpha history book is titled what?

• A. Origin of Alpha Phi Alpha
• B. Founding of Alpha Phi Alpha
• C. Birth of the Fraternity
• D. Creation of Alpha Phi Alpha

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing how a history text frames the beginning of an organization. The chapter title signals that the narrative will trace how Alpha Phi Alpha came into being—the ideas, people, and conditions that led to its existence—before getting into the specifics of the founding events.

That’s why the title about the origin is the best fit: it emphasizes the roots and genesis of the fraternity, setting up the context for later chapters that might cover the founders and formal establishment. The other options don’t fit as well because they focus more on the act of forming (founding), use a less formal or more colloquial term (birth), or employ a word that’s less common in scholarly histories (creation).
