Today, we celebrate and uplift the black and gold men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated on their 117th Anniversary!

Seven young men came together at Cornell University on December 4th, 1906 to build a brotherhood that not only supports and encourages black students to pursue higher education, but also focuses on serving the community.

Throughout its history, Alpha Phi Alpha has played a significant role in the civil rights movement and has been involved in various social and political initiatives aimed at addressing racial inequality. The fraternity carries the legacy of strong commitment to community service and continues to contribute to numerous charitable causes.

We cannot imagine the ongoing fear, trauma, and unease experienced by those directly impacted by the Hamas attack and the retaliatory attacks that continue across the area. We join those who mourn the innocent lives that are being lost in a decades long conflict they had no hand in. While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one that causes much polarization, we call for an extension of compassion for the innocent; and we offer our deepest condolences and prayers to the victims, families, friends, and communities affected by these attacks.

Happy birthday, Soror Ray!!

Mental Health is not a sign of weakness, but a testament to our strength and resilience. World Mental Health Day is our way of recognizing and understanding that caring for our mental health and emotional well-being is just as crucial as our physical health.

Today, be intentional about checking on your loved ones - including your friends. Let's break the stigma surrounding mental health - it doesn’t have a way that it’s supposed to “look” on someone. Just be kind. Encourage open conversations. Lend a listening ear, offer a hug or give someone a word of support, as they may be struggling in silence.
If that someone is you - remember that you are never alone on this journey.

Take time for self-care, practice mindfulness, and prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. Together, we can create a supportive and understanding community where everyone's mental health is valued and protected.

Today, we pay tribute and celebrate the life of our remarkable Triumphant Founder Pearl Anna Neal. Her vision and dedication for Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated blazed a trail of excellence that continues to inspire us all.

Triumphant Founder Neal's commitment to , , , and set the foundation for our sorority's enduring values. Her unwavering spirit and leadership reminds us to always strive for greatness and uplift one another.

May we continue to honor her legacy by living out the principles she held dear, and by continuing to make a positive impact within our communities.
