Bryon was so impressed that he persuaded Diggs to enroll with him in the fall. Diggs enrolled at Indiana University in the fall of 1910 and was the first African American to graduate with an A.B. degree from Indiana University’s School of Education in 1916. He subsequently earned his Master of Education from Indiana University in 1944. Diggs was an educator who held teaching positions and served as principal at public schools throughout Indiana. Diggs was married on three occasions (to Clara Bell Smith, Elizabeth Byrd, and Lylia P. Roberts). Clara Bell and Lyla were teachers, and Diggs assumed Clara Bell’s teaching responsibilities once they became married since female teachers were not permitted to teach in the state of Indiana at that time. Clara Bell and Elizabeth preceded Diggs in death, and Lylia died less than 30 days after Diggs passed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670a7947e828a620ffacb690/06d5f235-0f48-4948-b7f6-9e86a06c0690/Diggs-Llt.jpg FOUNDERS - ELDER WATSON DIGGS When the U.S. made its declaration in World War I against Germany, Diggs resigned as principal and entered the nation’s first Negroes Officers Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and was commissioned a First Lieutenant. After serving in Europe with the 368th Infantry, he rose to the rank of Captain in the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps. Diggs also was a past commander of the American Legion. After the war, Diggs was instrumental in having the Indiana Constitution amended to permit Negro enlistment in the Indiana National Guard. Diggs was an active member of the First Baptist Church of North Indianapolis, a past commander of the Edward S. Gaillard Post No. 107 of the American Legion, a member of the History Committee of the Indianapolis Public Schools, a member of the Leadership Training Committee, Boy Scouts of America; a worker in the YMCA; and served on the Executive Committee of the USO during World War II. Diggs was also a Masonic member of Central Lodge No. 1, Indianapolis, Indiana, under the auspices of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Indiana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670a7947e828a620ffacb690/a54bc6bc-b6bd-49ca-912b-b7cebd7e6c4e/DIGGS-RestingPlace.jpg FOUNDERS - ELDER WATSON DIGGS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.omicroniotanupes.com/founders/byronarmstrong monthly 0.5 2025-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670a7947e828a620ffacb690/0c5455e6-7e5f-4a27-ba3c-5542f4a97806/armstrong.jpg FOUNDERS - BYRON K.

ARMSTRONG Armstrong was one of the primary potent forces behind the founding of Kappa Alpha Nu. He created the motto, assisted Diggs in preparing the Coat of Arms, and produced the fraternity badge. He suggested the fraternity should reward members’ outstanding achievements with a Laurel Wreath. He served the fraternity as the 1st Grand Strategus, 5th Grand Historian, and Grand Board Member. He also established the Beta, Theta, Xi, Alpha Pi, Gamma Xi, Chicago (IL), Langston (OK), and Tulsa (OK) Alumni Chapters. Armstrong assisted in the writing of the Handbook of Kappa Alpha Psi®, 1928. He also authored Crossing the Jordan and Beyond and served as Editor of The Kappa Alpha Psi® Journal. Armstrong was awarded the 6th Laurel Wreath. The Byron K. Armstrong Scholars Award, the only Grand Chapter award available to fraternity undergraduate members for outstanding achievement, is named in his honor. Armstrong died June 28, 1980 and is buried at Inglewood Cemetery in Inglewood, California. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670a7947e828a620ffacb690/c98e67e1-c735-442d-9d14-a8f6a087ff26/Armstrong-Resting.jpg FOUNDERS - BYRON K.

ASHER Asher served a year overseas in France during World War I and attained the rank of corporal. He was assigned to the 809th Pioneer Infantry unit of the U.S. Army. Upon completing his service in 1919, he gave up a possible teaching career at Wilberforce University for one in real estate. He subsequently ended up in Detroit, where he decided to enter the postal service and worked as a teacher. Asher married Celia Craig in 1936 and later met and married his second wife, Bessie. Asher, along with Founders Edmonds and Blakemore, were the first three freshman initiates of the Alpha of Kappa Alpha Nu. Although he was not a charter member of the Detroit (MI) Alumni Chapter, he was among the first to affiliate with the chapter in 1920. In 1925, Asher served as Detroit (MI) Alumni Chapter’s Strategus and Keeper of Records. Asher was an active member of several organizations, including the NAACP, the Elks, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He spent the remainder of his life in Detroit, Michigan, where he died on March 5, 1963. He is buried at Detroit Memorial Park (East) in Warren, Michigan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670a7947e828a620ffacb690/d4cdc74a-698a-4496-a8e3-6f23dd3a148e/Asher-Resting.jpg FOUNDERS - HENRY T.

BLAKEMORE He earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Pittsburgh and graduated from its Dental School with a D.D.S. degree in 1923. In 1949, Blakemore became the first Black to receive an M.S. degree in Prosthetic Dentistry from the University of Pittsburgh Dental School. Blakemore was a member of national and local Dental Societies and a staunch member of Ebenezer Baptist Church, having served as a trustee and a clarinet soloist. Blakemore was a roommate of Byron K. Armstrong in the rooming house of Ms. Molly Spaulding. He was one of the two Founders who pawned his watch to help raise the Fraternity’s incorporation fee. Blakemore was one of the first three freshmen initiates of Kappa Alpha Nu. He wired the first Fraternity house for electricity, the first Negro home ever wired for electricity in Bloomington. He was a charter member of the Pittsburgh (PA) Alumni Chapter and was instrumental in establishing the Beta Epsilon Chapter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670a7947e828a620ffacb690/2da1c2cd-bcd6-4879-ac78-1292aa72a6a0/Blakemore-Resting.jpg FOUNDERS - MARCUS P.

CAINE He lost all his belongings during his freshman year because of a disastrous fire in the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity house where he was employed. Caine persevered but was eventually forced to withdraw from school during his sophomore year, the winter quarter of 1911. He subsequently set up the Caine Catering Company in his hometown and continued his catering business in various cities, including Gary, Indiana, Peoria, Chicago, and Evanston, Illinois. Caine opened a restaurant and bakery while residing in Peoria, Illinois. He also published a catering book, Artistic Dishes, copyrighted in 1919 by the Hurst Publishing Company. He became well known in the culinary circles and was well sought after to teach and conduct lectures. While residing in Gary, Indiana, Caine worked as a laborer at the Gary Steel Mill and married Jeanette E. Wilson in 1921. While living in Chicago in the early-mid 1920s, Caine assisted in organizing and furnishing the Chicago (IL) Alumni Chapter’s new “Kappa Kastle.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670a7947e828a620ffacb690/d287a98f-5094-48be-b2e1-93ae29073187/Caine_Resting.jpg FOUNDERS - PAUL W.

EDMONDS After Edmonds returned home for the summer of 1911, he never returned to school. Instead, he worked in the coal mines and railroad of Vanderburgh County for many years, joining the local union, where he was elected secretary and treasurer. Edmonds also lived in Lake County, Indiana (1917-18) and Warwick County, Indiana (1942). Edmonds married Willa Mae Forte and settled in Stevenson, Indiana. They became the parents of one son, Noel. Founder Edmonds died on June 13, 1962. Unfortunately, little more is known of Edmonds because of his premature withdrawal from school. The Fraternity had attempted to locate Edmonds for several years. Several factors hampered these efforts. The circumstances of his life prevented him from moving in the circles of higher education. Edmonds’ lack of contact with college colleagues prevented him from knowing the organization he assisted to found. In 1915, the Fraternity changed its name from Kappa Alpha Nu to Kappa Alpha Psi®. Attempts to locate him may have been hindered because his last name was misspelled in the Fraternity’s records. For these reasons, Edmonds’ location was unknown to the Fraternity for sixty-seven years. In 1975, Founder Edward G. Irvin urged Brothers to intensify their search for Edmonds. Edmonds’ burial site was finally confirmed in 1978. He is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Evansville, Indiana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/670a7947e828a620ffacb690/4b36bdba-0caa-4fbf-beeb-0db210d11619/Edmonds-Resting.jpg FOUNDERS - GEORGE W.
