Greetings,
I am not a man of ALPHA, but have grown continually interested in the faternities origin and it's connection to that of Prince Hall Masonry of which affiliatoin I hold. Keeping with the topic at hand, I found out my father whom I did not grow up with is an Alpha Man. I am 29 and live in Balto.,MD. I went to the Nat'l HQ to check the roll and I found out my father crossed at Lincoln University ,PA 1968-NU Chapter. This helped raise my zeal for membership. Then following, I read the history book from the Shomburg library in NY. I learned how the other frats became off shoots of Alpha (ie. Kappa chapt. of A PHI' Tap Day weeding out sigma and pointdexter helping Q). Though most importantly your Seven Jewels had the first meetings at the Odd Fellows lodge. Leading to them being masons. An as I continue my travels in masonry I have observed all the , signs, symbols and allegories of Alpha (ie. the Sphinx, and the Ape etc.) in my numerous initiations in the blue lodge and the Holy Royal Arch (degrees of masonry if your not familiar). Keeping all this in mind I can't see being apart of a any other SON of the father of all fraternities (Prince Hall Masonry) then ALPHA PHI ALPHA since it is apart of my familiy tree by my father's rite and my current affiliation.
