Today, the Alexandria-Fairfax (VA) Alumni Chapter celebrates 50 Years of Brotherhood: Committed to Tradition, Driven by Innovation.

Standing on the shoulders of the brothers who came before us, we honor five decades of visionary leadership, unwavering service, and a legacy built to uplift generations. From strengthening communities across Northern Virginia to creating pathways for youth through mentorship, scholarship, Guide Right initiatives, and community engagement, the chapter has remained dedicated to achievement in every field of human endeavor.

For fifty years, Alexandria-Fairfax has exemplified what it means to lead with purpose — building a legacy rooted in service, professionalism, mentorship, and brotherhood while continuing to evolve to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

As we celebrate this historic milestone, we salute our Charter Members whose sacrifice, vision, and commitment transformed ideas into institutions and brotherhood into lasting impact. The legacy continues because of those who dared to build it.

Here’s to 50 years of excellence, leadership, achievement, and brotherhood — and to the generations still to come. ♦️👌🏾

As family, friends, and Brothers from across the AF Network prepare to gather for an unforgettable weekend commemorating 50 years of achievement, legacy, and impact, we are proud to spotlight some of our distinguished keynote speakers, host, and awards honorees. Stay tuned for more announcements and special highlights throughout the weekend!

We begin by proudly recognizing Brother Richard B. Mattox, 30th Eastern Province Polemarch, who will deliver tonight’s Brotherhood Ceremony keynote address.

Richard Mattox is a visionary leader, dedicated servant, and proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., whose commitment to achievement, mentorship, and community uplift has left a lasting impact throughout the Eastern Province and beyond.
