What of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity?

Honestly I feel free to say that it is no superficial organization blowing the pipe of rumor and conjecture; but is that organization founded, in 1906, at Cornell University by seven patriotic young men, in order to cultivate a love for the true, to further the science of the beautiful, to cherish a reverence for the good, to lay a basis for ethics and to promote matters vital to humanity, whose faith was fair and hope was sure and who had brains to conceive and energy to accomplish the great and imperative need of humanity—equal justice.

- Henry L. Dickason,

President of Alpha Phi Alpha, 1914
