Virginia Association of Chapters Of Alpha Phi Alpha (VACAPAF)
The origins of VACAPAF can be traced to 1943, when President Luther H. Foster, an Alpha man of what then was Virginia State College (now Virginia State University), invited two college chapters and six alumni chapters to meet at the college to discuss Alpha business.
The two college chapters represented at that meeting were the Gamma Chapter (Virginia Union) and Beta Gamma. The first statewide convention of Alpha Phi Alpha chapters in Virginia was held on February 14, 1959, in Richmond, and led to the formal organization of the Virginia Conference of Alpha Phi Alpha Chapters, now known as the VACAPAF.
