Pi Alpha Phi

Pi Alpha Phi (ΠΑΦ a.k.a PAPhi or Pineapples) is an American university-level fraternity. It was founded in 1929 at the University of California, Berkeley.

Chan, from the Central California town of Oroville; Dong Wing Tom, from San Francisco; and Elmer Leong from Berkeley, did much of the preliminary work towards the formation of the Fraternity....
