Brothers of Alpha South,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Alpha South, I want to wish you a Happy Founders’ Day and a successful fraternal celebration as you commemorate the founding of our great fraternity.
One hundred and two years ago the Jewels of our great Fraternity, with a vision to change this nation, embarked on an unequaled journey to establish a Brotherhood of leaders to transform America and the world. Today, as men of Alpha, we’re charged with continuing that noble legacy of leadership.
As we prepare for rededication ceremonies, reflect on our valued history, and rekindle the bonds of brotherhood, let us remember that we are the leaders of the world. Particularly in our own nation, strong leadership, rooted in integrity, remains in high demand. Therefore, in tribute to the Jewels, the countless Alpha leaders now recorded in Omega Chapter and the endless number of future Alphamen, I ask you to remain steadfast and vigilant in your position of leadership. The world continues to need Alpha Phi Alpha leaders to guide the ship of the universe Onward and Upward.
Leadership was the order of the day on December 4, 1906 and continues to be the order of the day on December 4, 2008 .
Happy Founders’ Day, my Brothers.
Fraternally,
Brother Everett B. Ward
Vice President
Southern Region
