As we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Epsilon Phi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., we reflect on six decades of academic excellence, leadership, and community impact at Northern Illinois University (NIU).


Founded in 1964 during a transformative era in American history, the chapter emerged alongside the Civil Rights Movement, a time when African American scholars, activists, and leaders were making pivotal advancements in education, culture, and science.

Celebrating 60 Years!
