Alpha Phi Alpha (ΑΦΑ) Fraternity is generally recognized as the first intercollegiate Greek letter fraternity established by Blacks. Founded on December 4, 1906 on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, the fraternity has initiated over 175,000 men into the organization. The fraternity has been open to men of all races since 1945. Alpha Phi Alpha has declared 2006 the beginning of its "Centennial Era" to celebrate its centenary, and preserves its archives at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center.

Founders Henry A. Callis, Charles H. Chapman, Eugene K. Jones, George B. Kelley, Nathaniel A. Murray, Robert H. Ogle and Vertner W. Tandy are collectively known as the Seven Jewels

it is the first black fraternity formed in the usa. their colors are black and gold and u can join by showing interest and they'll show interest by allowing to try to survive their rush line. and if u pass all their requirements and learn all the required information about the founders and their history u will participate in a coming out ceremony called a probate. look up the fraternity online or get a book to find out if this the fraternity is right for u and your morals. there are several fraternities to choose from:
sigmas, iotas, kappas, and q's. and not all universities and colleges have these fraternities present, so look for that when u r considering a college.
