Connecting Mississippi Alphas To The World
Welcome to The Mississippi Alpha Network
Our Story
The presence of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was felt in 1927 when Alpha Epsilon Lambda was chartered in Jackson, Mississippi. This movement reached the college community in 1949 when Gamma Upsilon was chartered on the campus of Tougaloo College. From that time until now, thirteen (13) additional alumni chapters and nine (9) additional college chapters. In 1971, the first district conference was held in Jackson, Mississippi, at the King Edward Hotel.

A Vote-less People is a Hopeless People
“A Voteless People is a Hopeless People” (aka VPHP) was initiated as a National Program of Alpha during the 1930’s when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and lack of education about the voting process. Voter education and registration have remained a dominant focus of this outreach activity for over 65 years. In the 1990’s, the focus shifted to include political awareness and empowerment, delivered most frequently through town meetings and candidate forums.
