Alpha Kappa Nu (ΑΚΝ) was one of the first documented African-American collegiate fraternal organizations in the United States.[1] Formed in 1903 at Indiana University in Richmond (now Indiana University East) and lasting until around 1905, it had a membership of 10, which included all the colored students at the school.[2] A second chapter was set to be established at Wilberforce University.[2] Wilberforce University was where the fraternity Gamma Phi was founded in 1905.
