The "Bon Voyage" party was a farewell party before Dehaven Hinkson and his family relocated to Europe for his post-graduate studies. The Geace Club evolved from the women meeting as adolescents as members of the Sunshine Club. The Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, also known as the Boulé, is the first Greek-letter fraternity founded by African Americans in 1904. Members have already received their college and professional degrees at the time of inclusion. Richard J. Warwick and Eugene T. Hinson were founding members. The Commissioners was founded in 1933 by prominent African American Philadelphians as a men's social club "to promote social involvement among members of the community."
