Alpha Phi Alpha

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was founded on December 4, 1906 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It is the first Black Intercollegiate Greek-letter organization. The Eta Omicron Chapter was chartered on the campus of NC State University on April 7, 1971. With the help of Dr. Augustus M. Witherspoon and the Beta Rho Chapter at Shaw University, the Eta Omicron Chapter was the first Black Greek Letter Organization on NC State's campus. The chapter has achieved countless accomplishments and firsts at NC State and continues to push for excellence within our communities. “First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All”.

The mission of Alpha Phi Alpha is to develop leaders, promote brotherhood and academic excellence, while providing service and advocacy for our communities.
