love for all man kind!!! bull cuz i been to the club.. and if the alpha train coming through and you stand in the way you gone get moved by either a shove or worse
It amazes me that this one person is on every Greek video commenting negatively. If you don't like something why waste so much energy watching videos or commenting.
This is an excellent video it really depicts the good side of Fraternities especially minority greeks. I have mad respect for this organization keep the hard work. Larga vida
Very well done my young Bro's. I crossed those burning sands 15 years ago. However, this video stirred alot of emotions in me. MO Chapter, winter 1995, #3.....God be with ALPHA always and EVERY OTHER BLACK GREEK ORGANIZATION.
GOD...how stupid can u get kid...i said i was interested in HIGH SCHOOL....and u r graduating at the top of ur class...lmao....ONCE U GET IN COLLEGE...u will see for yourself ALONG WITH OTHERS WHAT GREEK LIFE is about....OH AND BY THE WAY i have never gone to an interest meeting....grow up kid and get some balls b4 u try to come with that wack stuff
AND SINCE U FATHER IS AN ALPHA....DID HE NOT TEACH U ABOUT "DISCRETION"...which is stupid if u ask me because everyone is going to know anyway once u r done with the stupid process....U R foolish for "my father is a preacher and a Christian and a member of APA" comment....think outside of the box and see that these organizations ARE NOT ABOUT SERVICE..join other organizations for all I care...but do NOT SUBMIT YOURSELF TO any greek organization that further pushes God away in their orgranization
F.Y.I i know that i will graduate um at the top of my class. Like you just said you were intrested but you just didnt get picked so your being bitter about it you could actually probably care less about somebodies soul your just mad you didnt make the cut like i said how can all these people be in these orgz that are in church every sunday mayb bcuz its nothig wrong with it dont be mad you didnt make it just try again and they are about service iv seen them do it with my own 2
And Y exactly should i be discreet on the computer. Um behind a computer scene. DUH and that comment you mad bout it being foolish lol how could something be PHoolish that you know absoultly nothing about until you are initiated in the ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRAT INC.(which you wont unless you get a sex change) you wouldnt know up from down
dude...ur comment made ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE...i know exactly what the greek life is all about...its just like I don't have to do DRUGS TO KNOW THAT DURGS IS BAD FOR ME....once again u r the foolish one who refuses to seek the truth about these organizations....I WILL AND HONESTLY EXPLAIN TO YOU THE HISTORY OF GREEK ORGANIZATIONS but I guess that seriously kill your ego for joining these organizations because then u will know what they are all about....APHA INC...this incorporated stuff is a joke!
I got balls.. balls to put in peoples mouth who make dumb comments and your in college thats hard to believe for some1 to ramble on and on about some they are not apart of. U R A true idiot go post your stupid crap on another website but have class on an alpha documentary and why dont you tell the alphas your view in person
once again...i see you are trying to get information from actual members...they will probably answer ur question - however, they won't tell you the REAL reason why their organizations were founded....trust me...it is not about helping the black community....it is about self-righteous, elitism, division, light-skin versus dark-class, social status and class, idol-worship, hazing (extreme and non-extreme), and total submission ....only "weak-minded" people submit themselves to these organizations
its amazing how brainwashed black people have become to see that for those of us who r Christian - clearly these organizations go against God's divine purpose and will for our lives....God DID NOT CALL these organizations ...so stop saying that they were founded on CHRISTIAN principles...U AND OTHERS have been deceived...i beg of you to look at the series "black fraternities" and see the truth because it is...i am only biased because I care for people's souls going to heaven and not perishing
My father is an alpha and a preacher so he isnt a christian??? which by the way is still active in the fraternity. Come on you know as well i know that you wanted to be greek or you wouldnt have went threw all the trouble of posting these dumb comments
its amazing how U THINK that I am diluted in the sense of saying that being a Christian and greek is SPIRITUALLY OK...it is NOT...for your interest, I was once interested in the greek world when i was in high school, until I was exposed to the real deal in college...unlike u since u r 15 - keep learning...lol...and please graduate....
I'm impressed and very proud of the brothers for representing the fraternity and black fraternities so well, however, I gotta put brothers on blast! Sydney Poitier and Quincy Jones ARE NOT Alphas! This is an UNTRUTH that somehow brothers seem to hold onto! Could have used Lionel Richie instead Quincy Jones; and Paul Robeson instead of Sydney Potier. Alpha has too many great members that we DO NOT have to claim brothers who ARE NOT members of this great fraternity! So, I have to give it a B-
I noticed that Frederick Douglass was named several times during this video as a member. Since he died in 1895, and A Phi A was founded in 1906, I am assuming that he must be a posthumous honorary member. But either way, you gotta respect APhiA...they were the first...unless you count Gamma Phi Fraternity that was founded in 1905 on the campus of Wilberforce University. But APhiA has stood the test of time.
Everything you said could be researched...no offense but 'duhhh' pertaining to mr. douglas...they ARE the first INTERCOLLEGIATE fraternity for BLACK MEN on a COLLEGE CAMPUS (1906). Prince Hall Freemasonry is The first Predominantly BLACK FRAT (After 1813), Sigma Pi Phi is the first B.G.L.O. (1904) & Gamma Phi [Circus] is the OLDEST COLLEGIATE "CIRCUS" (1929) so Gamma is not even the picture. Please, look up stuff before commenting. Just handing out advice.
Brother Greeks, I really liked this video. I was glad to see this depict your fraternity and chapter is such a good light! You've shown every aspect of what a fraternity should be about. Scholarship, Service and Brotherhood. I frequent greek youtube vids, and I must say that this was definitly more of what I would like to see as a representation of our Black Greek community. Just wanted to share that with you and show some love. From a brother of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. 95 years strong!
I believe an Alpha Phi Alpha Pledge is usually referred to as an "Ape" during "Hell Week" so that would explain the monkey/banana you are referring to.
The video is AWESOME! Good to know the legacy continues at my pledge chapter. Keep up the good work as role models: Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for ALL Mankind!
Great video BG!!! 006, ooold school. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. Omegas.. stop hating...you are in a white country..who cares where our organizations were founded. In fact, how difficult do you thing it is to copy a frat (at Howard) after being rejected as opposed to starting an organization on a white campus at the beginnig of the 20th century. Bottom line, we are all educated black men and an endangered species in America. Our battle field is not between each other.
Good job bruhs and its sad that we as black men can't get along and we are putting our fraternity's before our ethnicity and that really determines whos the greater man, But brothers of Alpha good Job.
It's really sad how we hate on each other's history instead of recognizing the struggle and the need for unity and progress, as my "Jewels" did a century ago. And as said before, Alpha history is Black history! Instead of hating on Douglas for being my brother, be proud of his accomplishments as a black man! That is why he is an Alpha! He served for many years and fought for the rights of blacks by becoming a scholar in every way, and he transcended many to higher ground!
I totally agree. Im tired of looking at these videos about Black frats and seeing all of these derogatory comments degrading the different frats. We are all black, and we get enough shit from non blacks. Its kinda cliche but we need to learn how to get along; or we can never truly get ahead. Real talk!!!
Both yall need to stop! WE all know them tired Sigmas are always hollering that 1st crap.
And u alphas need to stop saying that Fredrick Douglas stuff.He is a honorary member and was deceased a decade b4 yall was even founded!! Who's next Kunta Kinte?
It was my founders that tutored the white frats! Success is not only contingent upon your apptitude. Your altitude depends upon your attitude! And for the record about being first, before all others came onto the scene, we were founded and incorporated twice over with alumni chapters as well. So, you see, Alpha history is Black history. My "Jewels" were about advancement and not regression PriestZero! Where there is progress, there is Alpha! You have been enlightened greek!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow you guys started it all huh? Hmm lets see... who started pledging first? Who started stepping first? Who was the speerhead for the founding shaping and development of the NPHC? So much for being first huh? Stay in your place... being waiters in white frat houses
All I know is that in 1910 there were three kids from DC named Coleman, Love, and Cooper going up to Alphas at Beta chapter sayin' "HOW CAN WE BE DOWN????" Some people got rejected, took a trip to New Orleans, took some Mardi Gras Colors, and Next year POOF create a "new" fraternity.....Please. Its like a father talking to a son whose mad that daddy left him.. Real hard getting some Negroes to start a frat at a Black college. Give out initiation invites on the Basketball court??
PriestZero, just read your response and you act as if we are in competition with other frats. Alphas are in competition with their own history and trying to take it to the next level. We applaud the accomplishments of other fraternities for when they are elevated so are we. Because we proclaim our history and our accomplishments its not a slight on the accomplishments and achivements of our Greek brothers. We honor Diggs, Just and Taylor for they are not our enemies but our Greek brothers. 06
I think it is ironic that as one of the Alpha's is saying that they are "classy" the video shows them giving the "suck it" sign.

jmlp2319 10 months ago
@jmlp2319 Yes, but they can honored him and give him a title. Frederik Douglass is a role model for every black men.

Nope Initiates were led trembling into our midst. Odd Fellows Hall 1906

Do others have their leaders and great men? Certainly, that goes without saying.
