Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was founded on December 4, 1906, at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It is recognized as the first intercollegiate Greek letter fraternity established for African American men. Originally formed as a study and support group for Black students facing racial discrimination and social isolation, the organization quickly evolved into a brotherhood committed to scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of humanity. The founders, known as the Seven Jewels, were Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy. Their vision created a movement that has grown into hundreds of undergraduate and graduate chapters worldwide, producing leaders across many professions and communities.
