All fraternities are corporations. Whichever one accepted you is also a corporation.
And though "frat" is a pejorative in your world, in the Black fraternal world it is just an abbreviation for fraternity brother, as "soror" is an abbreviation for "sorority sister."
If you disagree, of course that is your right -- but it's not your place to "correct" something that, for us, is already correct.
And finally, more than one Alpha is "Alphas." Something belonging to one Alpha (or to the fraternity as a whole) would be "Alpha's."

Honestly, if Blacks are going to copy the usage of Greek Lettering for their fraternities and sororities, I would prefer that they treat their fraternity with respect. Too often GDI's love to use the word frat.

Even more impressive is a 'minority' team winning from a 'diverse' student body in the South.

Maybe I missed something, but when did it become a negative thing to be a corporation? I'm confused

This is somebody who is enjoying stirring up people - check his/her name. Just ignore ilikehazing.
I'm not sure why the term "frat" is considered ignoble. It's just a shortening of "fraternity" or "frater." I know TKE uses the term "frater" but other groups do not like it. If it's your group's preferred style, who cares?
And congratulations to the Greek winners!
