The agitation started to intensify at approximately 8 p.m., leading the chapter to open a separate Zoom meeting and move the program there, he said. Jafari Wells, an Alpha Phi Alpha brother and School of Arts and Sciences senior, said they started to notice some agitation in the chat from outside individuals at approximately 7:56 p.m.
The Delta Iota chapter attempted to host a program called Renaissance Man: A Discussion on the Cultural Influence of Dynamic Black Leaders, scheduled for 8 p.m.
