Jersey City Alumni was the culmination of years of interest in establishing Kappa in Jersey City. The concept was actually hatched by brothers Eric Coit, who would eventually serve as the chapter’s first polemarch, Collin Caesar who would serve as the chapter’s sixth polemarch, and L-Mani S. Viney who would be instrumental in establishing Jersey City Alumni’s Guide Right program. In time, the Jersey City residents would be joined by other brothers living in Jersey City and the surrounding communities looking for a new fraternal home. Initially operating under the moniker, Jersey City Nupes, the chapter would find an ally in the Queens Alumni Chapter who would provide the template for the chapter’s by-laws and thus would draw in brothers such as Daniel Brown, Steve Chatman and Omar Morris who were dual members.
