VETERAN'S DAY -- We Remember Those on the "Fighting Front"

Alpha members have been serving the country since World War I. Veterans Day and Remembrance Day is an opportunity to honor those that continue this tradition, of serving gallantly while defending the United States.

Today, brothers of the Ohio District, give pause and remember to pay our respects to those brothers of our Fraternity who serve and have given much for others with their sacrifice of time, pleasures and comforts, and some by the ultimate sacrifice— with pride and honor.

Bro. Porter, who is called, the "father of African American art history," left a strong cultural and educational legacy that is carried on at Howard University.  The picture shown here is featured in the current fraternal history book. 

Fraternal Application Process

Candidates seeking membership into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. will have a slightly different process to obtaining an official application from the fraternity.  The major changes are listed below:

• Candidates will need to obtain two sponsors from the chapter BEFORE they can obtain an application.  They will need Brothers e-mail address and Membership ID's to obtain an application. 
• All payments for membership are made via AlphaNET.  No money orders should be given to the District Director. 
• Completely new hardcopy application.  Any Candidate with an old version of the membership application will need to obtain a new one.
