On what date did Alpha Phi Alpha complete its second incorporation?

• A. April 3, 1911
• B. March 3, 1912
• C. April 3, 1912
• D. April 3, 1913

Answer: (C)

Incorporation creates a legal entity that can own property, enter contracts, sue or be sued, and govern itself through a national structure. The date when Alpha Phi Alpha completed its second incorporation—April 3, 1912—marks the moment the national organization solidified its legal status beyond the campus groups, allowing formal governance and assets to be held at the national level. The other dates don’t match this recorded milestone, as they would place the completion of the second incorporation in a different year or on a different day.
