Brothers Henderson and Faez spent quality time serving as tour guides this past weekend with Brothers from Epsilon Eta (Eastern Michigan University) and Theta Zeta Lambda Chapters. These brothers were conducting their Brotherhood Pilgrimage at the House of Alpha Leadership Institute.

Throughout their time here, the Brothers visited historical landmarks essential to our Fraternity, had fellowship during dinners, and exchanged the rich history and tradition among our respective Chapters.

This experience, which was made possible through the Alpha Light Fund, Inc and graciously hosted by Bro. Dr. Ryan Goldsberry (A-FA’87-1) who gave us the opportunity to strengthen our Fraternal bonds while appreciating the legacy our Founding Jewels laid out for us and ensure we continue to inspire future generations of Brothers.

The Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, Alpha Chapter, were honored to attend the portrait unveiling for Bro. Dr. Roscoe C. Giles at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City.

Bro. Dr. Giles was one of the second initiates of Alpha Chapter in October 1907. He embodied true servant leadership within our organization through his service as our first General Treasurer, second General President and a key advocate who helped create our “Go-to-High School, Go-to-College” National Program.

He was also a prominent leader in the Black community as he broke racial barriers in medicine. He was the first Black graduate of Cornell University Medical College, where, despite being asked to leave and receiving multiple death threats, he earned his degree in 1915. He also became the first Black person to be certified by the American Board of Surgery and served as president of the National Medical Association. At only 27 years old, Bro. Dr. Giles was appointed by Chicago Mayor William Hale Thompson to be the supervisor of the Chicago Health Department becoming the first Black person in the country to hold such a position.

The Brothers of the Almighty Alpha Chapter are proud to call Bro. Dr. Giles one our own, and we are grateful to witness his commemoration at Weill Cornell Medicine.

There goes an Alpha Man🤙🏾
