The Hamlet of Armonk is located in the Town of North Castle in the eastern section of Westchester County, New York. The Town of North Castle comprises approximately 26.5 square miles and is situated at the narrow waist of Westchester County.
On October 23, 1906, George Kelley proposed that the organization be known by the Greek letters Alpha Phi Alpha, and Robert Ogle proposed the colors black and old gold. The divisive issue of whether the terms club or fraternity should be used was still debated.
But it is interesting to note that within 18 years of the formation of the first Black Greek-letter society, a public ritual dance associated with pledging was performed by two fraternities at Howard University. Stepping evolved at different rates on various campuses. Kappa Alpha Psi member Thomas Harville, who pledged at West Virginia State College, says that in 1940, his fraternity participated in group singing, often while they were holding hands or moving in a circle, but they did not step.
