Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the first intercollegiate Greek letter fraternity established for African-American males, was organized at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, December 4, 1906. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was born out of the desire for maintaining close association and unified support for members of this small minority group. The prejudices of the time, even at a relatively liberal institution such as Cornell, placed an extra burden on minority students. Furthermore, Blacks were denied, for the most part, the mutual helpfulness which the majority of the students attending Cornell University regularly enjoyed. The first unit of the fraternity that was established was called the "Alpha Chapter." The Seven founders, or "Jewels", of Alpha Phi Alpha are:
Jewel Henry A. Callis, MD
Jewel Charles H. Chapman
Jewel Eugene K. Jones
Jewel George B. Kelley
Jewel Nathanial A. Murray
Jewel Robert H. Ogle
Jewel Vertner W. Tandy
These men labored in the years of severe economic struggle and racial conflict in the United States. Despite their difficulties of organization, the early fraternity pioneers succeeded in laying a firm foundation and remained steadfast in their goals pointing toward development of the fraternity membership-that is espousing the principles of good character, sound scholarship, fellowship, and uplifting of humanity, espcially in the struggling Black community in the United States. The fraternity has grown steadily in influence throughout the years. The first of the African-American Greek Letter organizations to become interracial in 1945, it has expanded tremendously to the extent that there are now approximately 800 chapters located throughout the U.S., Caribbean Islands, Africa, West Indies, Europe, and Asia.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. develops leaders, promotes brotherhood and academic excellence, while providing service and advocacy for our communities.
The objectives of this Fraternity shall be: to stimulate the ambition of its members; to prepare them for the greatest usefulness in the causes of humanity, freedom, and dignity of the individual; to encourage the highest and noblest form of manhood; and to aid down-trodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social, economic and intellectual status.
The Eta Omicron chapter was founded April 7, 1971 by seven men:
Mr. Elwood Becton
Mr. Arthur Clements
Mr. Michael Dae
Mr. Marcus Martin
Mr. Eric Moore
Mr. Rufus Moore
Mr. Marion Whigham
These men were aided considerably by the late Brother Dr. Augustus McIver Witherspoon and the Beta Rho chapter of Shaw University in establishing the Eta Omicron chapter--the FIRST African-American Greek lettered fraternity on the campus of North Carolina State University. Following the fraternity's motto, "First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All," Eta Omicron's role as leaders has been widely visible on the campus. Four student body presidents, one student body Chief Justice, a senior class president, the first African-American Male Leader of the Pack, and countless presidents of various organizations were all distinguished gentelmen of Alpha.
