Who was the first General President?

• A. Moses A. Morrison
• B. Lemuel E. Graves
• C. Henry Arthur Callis
• D. Vertner Woodson Tandy

Answer: (A)

The General President is the top national leader of Alpha Phi Alpha, the person who first established the national leadership for the fraternity as it expanded beyond a single campus. Moses A. Morrison, one of the Seven Founders, served as the inaugural national president when the organization formalized its national structure. This set the precedent for how the fraternity would be governed across chapters, making him the correct answer. The other names were important early members and leaders, but Morrison holds the distinction of being the first to hold that national presidency.
