WELCOME
On behalf of the Men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Rho Chapter - seated on the historic campus of Morehouse College, we welcome you to our chapter website. As you explore our site, we implore you to take heed to words offered by a prominent and distinguished Morehouse and Alpha man, Brother Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction."
- Martin Luther King, Jr., The Purpose of Education
The genius of this fraternity and chapter lies in our acknowledgment of a universal ethic that governs our lives to become moral agents of change, advocates for the love of all mankind, and selfless servant-leaders and scholars. Our dear Fraternity is one that fosters the convergence of head and heart as well as praxis and passion. Alpha Phi Alpha is a brotherhood striving for excellence in every discipline.
It is our sincere hope that you find our website helpful, informative, and even inspiring. We wish you the best and hope that you continue to follow our quest to hold high the light of Alpha.
Sincerely,
The Alpha Rho Chapter
