HOUSE of ALPHA GOODWILL is the monarch of this house Where men, unacquainted, enter, shake hands, exchange greetings, and depart friends. Cordiality exists among all who abide within. I am the eminent expression of friendship. Character and temperament change under my dominant power. Lives once touched by me become tuned, and are thereafter, amiable, kindly, fraternal. I inspire the musician to play noble sentiments, and assist the chemist to convert ungenerous personalities into individuals of great worth. I destroy all ignoble impulses. I constantly invoke principles which make for common brotherhood, and the echo resounds in all communities, and princely men are thereby recognized. Education, health, music, encouragement, sympathy, laughter: All these are species of interest given on self-invested capital. Tired moments find me a delightful treat, Hours of sorrow a shrine of understanding, At all times I am faithful to the creed of companionship. To a few I am the Castle of Dreams, Ambitious, successful, hopeful dreams. To many, I am the Poetic Palace where human feeling is rhymed to celestial motives. To the great majority, I am the Treasury of Good Fellowship. In fact, I am the College of Friendship; The University of Brotherly Love; The School for the Better Making of Men. I am ALPHA PHI ALPHA ! by: Brother Sidney P. Brown

[11/15/2011]: Oct 15th Chapter meetingAs discussed during our past Chapter meeting, there was a vote to change our meeting time to 4pm. This change was decided after a few expressed concerns of finishing Chapter business late in the afternoon. The agreed consensus was for an earlier start time and thus 4pm was the more favorable time to start our fraternal meeting.
