Founded in 1906,
Being the first of it's kind,
there were no warnings, disguise or
signs,
Only skills left behind from the
wise.
Giving today's youths the tools to stand
up and rise.
Legends are known to last through all
eternity.
For seven jewels blessed the world with
inspiration and unity.
Creating a monument known today as
ALPHA PHI ALPHA fraternity.
Born in a era of hostile and disfunctional
times,
For scholarship, leadership, and successs
are the gems of all kinds,
Yet, the right for higher education was the moving
force of there minds.
For this dedication to the colors of black and
gold,
Where brotherhood,
Leadership,
Excellence,
and Success can't be bought or sold.
For now this is written in stone.
So may god continue to bless all with integrity and
unity,
For he has given us a gem in ALPHA PHI ALPHA
Fraternity.
The End
