Hello!

[John E. Duncan]

Hi everyone,
To those persons who are interested in joining a fraternity or sorority, one of the first things that you must learn is discretion. Using discretion and exercising sound judgment regarding your interest in a specific organization is paramount to your consideration for membership.
Additionally, do your research regarding the aims of the organization in which you are interested, and become actively engaged in community service activities. You should align yourself with an organization that exemplifies the same ideals that you possess, and with whom you envision a lasting connection.
Do not join Greek organizations for prestige or popularity. Members who are already Greek can smell this ulterior motive a mile away.
I wish all prospective members much success in your pursuits, especially those seeking membership into the Divine Nine.
Dr. John E. Duncan
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated.
