It is primarily a military chapter which supports brothers assigned to Fort Leavenworth and the surrounding Leavenworth community. The name was assigned to brothers of the chapter because Fort Leavenworth was established in the late 1800s for the explicit purpose of westward expansion on the western frontier. In the early 1990s, Colin Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff led Fort Leavenworth, the Army and the local community in recognizing the efforts of the Buffalo Soldiers which were the first Black soldiers in America’s history. Consequently, the connotation as “Frontier Ques” in Omicron Iota Iota chapter evolved to the “Buffalo Soldier Ques”. Today, the chapter continues to cater to brothers assigned to Fort Leavenworth attending the yearly Command and General Staff College as well as many other soldiers assigned to the Combined Arms Center (CAC), the Mission Command Training Program (MCTP), Department of the Army civilians and military retirees living in the local community. Since it’s charter the chapter has hosted and supported over 120 brothers for the sole intent of supporting the local community.
