Connecting Mississippi Alphas To The World


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.

This collaborative project, which is symbolized by both genders signs side by side, is designed to provide education, motivation, and skill-building on issues of responsibility, relationships, teen pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases for young males ages 12-15 years. Designed to provide young men with current and accurate information about teen pregnancy prevention, Project Alpha™ consists of a series of workshops and informational sessions conducted by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brothers.
“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.
The “Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College” program, established in 1922, concentrates on the importance of completing secondary and collegiate education as a road to advancement.
Formally called the A. Charles Haston Brother’s Keeper program, this service program developed with the mission of advocating and improving the quality of life for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.’s senior brothers, their spouses and widows; brothers who are retired and have disabilities or ailments; and vulnerable community members.
