In the Autumn of 1905 at Cornell University, 9 young black men, desirous of maintaining a more intimate contact amongst themselves, met at the home of Mr. Edward Newton, who resided at 421 North Albany Street, Ithaca NY. These young men, most of whom were self supporting, with scant resources, faced the social barriers of color, common to American institutions during this era, by forming a Social Study Club. The group left their meeting that night, boldly facing the future, scarcely realizing, however, the impact that the night's actions would have on the lives of future generations of college students.

Because of their dream, hard work and dedication, ALPHA PHI ALPHA Fraternity, became a reality on the night of December 4th, 1906. Founded on the principles of Good Character, Fellowship, Sound Scholarship and the Uplifting of Humanity. It's being was not spontaneous, but came as an evolution through trial and struggle, a vision that could be easily seen, yet a task for more difficult than any of those present at that meeting could have faced.

Seven visionaries, whose dream, has inspired over 80,000 men to be "First of All, Servants of All, Transcending All. It is the goal of every Alpha Man to live up to the high ideas of our beloved "JEWELS", by holding high the Light of ALPHA PHI ALPHA.
