Dear Brothers:

FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT AMPY

Initiated Date: Saturday, April 21, 1956 Chapter Initiated: Beta Gamma Omega Chapter: Friday, April 3, 2020 Born: Monday, June 22, 1936

Brother Ampy received his Bachelor’s degree from Virginia State University. While attending VSU, Franklin pledged Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. He then went on to conclude his education at the University of Oregon where he received a Master’s degree and became Dr. Ampy when he received his Ph.D. from there.

Brother Ampy’s passion for education and travel would take him all over the world. He taught for 6 years at the American University in Beirut Lebanon. While teaching in the Middle East, he used any free time he had to explore the world; there were only a handful of countries that he did not visit in his lifetime and he loved to talk about his travels. It was 1971 when he landed at his final place of employment. Brother Ampy taught at Howard University for 48 years. He was beloved and highly respected by his colleagues and the students. He retired from the Biology department after the spring semester in 2019.
