I became interested in the fraternity, because of the commitment that Alpha Phi Alpha has to uplift the community, as well as the bond and brotherhood which I witnessed amongst its members. When I was a freshman, I was looking for an organization of substance that would aid in my personal growth into manhood. I read about Alpha Phi Alpha and soon I became more and more interested in the fraternity. Another source of inspiration came from my good friends who entered into the fraternity three years ago. Witnessing their experience in Alpha gave me a more in-depth view of the organization not only from the social point of view, but from the business end as well. Ever since then, my desire for membership into the organization had greatly increased. Now three years later, I am a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha and it has been the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. I thank god for this gift and change in my life. What I desired to bring to the fraternity is my commitment and loyalty for my community and my peers. As stated before I am very thankful for this gift, and understand that I must graciously serve others. "To whom much is given, much is expected in return" In the year of our Centennial Celebration, I will continue to uphold the foundation which our 7 Jewels set a hundred years ago! MAINLY DEEDS, SCHOLARSHIP, and LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND.
