List of Alpha Phi Alpha brothers

The list of Alpha Phi Alpha brothers (commonly referred to as "Alphas"cite web |url=http://www.union.arizona.edu/csil/greek/chapters/view.php?id=39 |title=Arizona Student Unions |work=Fraternity and sorority programs |publisher=University of Arizona |accessdate=2007-08-05] ) includes initiated and honorary members of Alpha Phi Alpha (ΆΦΆ), the first inter-collegiate Greek-letter organization established for Black college students.cite book | last=Wesley |first=Charles H. |authorlink=Charles H. Wesley| title=The History of Alpha Phi Alpha, A Development in College Life | edition=14th edition |origyear=1929 |publisher=Foundation Publishers | year=1981 | id=ASIN: B000ESQ14W] Founded on December 4, 1906 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Alpha Phi Alpha opened chapters at other colleges, universities, and cities, and named them with Greek-letters. Members traditionally pledge into a chapter, although some members were granted honorary status prior to the fraternity's discontinuation of the practice of granting honorary membership. A chapter name ending in “Lambda” denotes a graduate chapter. No chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha is designated Omega, the last letter of the Greek alphabet that traditionally signifies "the end". Deceased brothers are respectfully referred to as having joined Omega Chapter. Frederick Douglass is distinguished as the only member initiated posthumously when he became an exalted honorary member of Omega chapter in 1921.cite book | last=Wesley |first=Charles H. |authorlink=Charles H. Wesley| title=The History of Alpha Phi Alpha, A Development in College Life | edition=14th edition |origyear=1929 |publisher=Foundation Publishers | year=1981 | id=ASIN: B000ESQ14W]

The fraternity through its college and alumni chapters serves the community through nearly a thousand chapters in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean."

The fraternity has been led by 32 General Presidents and its membership includes at least two Heads of Government, three Governors, a Vice President, two Senators, a Supreme Court Justice, two Presidential candidates, Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize, Lenin Peace Prize, Kluge Prize, and French Légion d'honneur and Croix de guerre laureates, and at least four Rhodes Scholars, seventeen Ambassadors, thirteen Presidential Medal of Freedom, three Congressional Gold Medal, and seventeen Spingarn Medal recipients, and thirteen Olympians. Buildings, monuments, and schools have been named after Alpha men such as the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, the Whitney Young Memorial Bridge, and the Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

The House of Alpha

The "House of Alpha" was written in 1946 by fraternity brother Sydney P. Brown as a dedicatory statement for the "Alpha House" (fraternity house) of Theta Chapter and Xi Lambda chapter who jointly shared the fraternity house. Loyalty to the Fraternity ideas was repeatedly urged by brothers on the part of those who were among the initiated, and for every chapter with the vision of a fraternity house. The statement has become a for the national fraternity and chapters, as each may symbolically be referred to as a "House of Alpha."cite web |url=http://organizations.uncfsu.edu/apa/facts.htm |title=Alpha Phi Alpha Facts |publisher=Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Epsilon Zeta chapter |accessdate=2007-08-06]
