Which pair served on Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.'s first ritual committee?

• A. Eugene Kinckle Jones & Henry Arthur Callis
• B. George Biddle Kelley & Robert Harold Ogle
• C. Charles Poindexter & Henry Callis
• D. Robert Harold Ogle & Eugene Kinckle Jones

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is who helped shape Alpha Phi Alpha’s early ceremonial life by forming the first ritual committee that drafted the initiation rites and ceremonies. The pair that did this work were two of the fraternity’s original founders: George Biddle Kelley and Robert Harold Ogle. Their collaboration established the language and procedures that would be used across chapters as the fraternity expanded, giving Alpha Phi Alpha a consistent ceremonial framework from the start.

The other name pairings don’t reflect who actually served on that initial committee, so they don’t fit the historical record of who drafted the rituals.
