Since it’s founding on December 4, 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has supplied voice and vision to the struggle of African-Americans and people of color around the world.
Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African-Americans, was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of Brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The visionary founders, known as the “Jewels” of the Fraternity, are Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy.
The Fraternity initially served as a study and support group for minority students who faced racial prejudice, both educationally and socially, at Cornell. The Jewel founders and early leaders of the Fraternity succeeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha's principles of scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of humanity.
Alpha Omega Nu Fraternity, Inc. (the Tribe of Judah Chapter) was founded on biblical principles for African American men. Many men have desired joining black fraternities but due to religious obligations, they weren't able to join.
There are great black greek organizations that has paved the way for newer fraternities. Everyone cannot become members of those organizations, everyone cannot become a member of Alpha Omega Nu Fraternity, Inc.
Alpha Omega Nu Fraternity, Inc. is not an alternative for greek life but a lifestyle for a spiritual life.
We are not interested in recognition or approval, we are interested in becomming stewards for Jesus Christ. Alpha Omega Nu Fraternity, Inc. is strictly a Christian organization. We have no interest in secular fraternal politics.
We are looking for strong Christian black men willing to carry on the torch of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To stimulate the ambition of our members; to prepare them for the greatest usefulness in the
cause of humanity, freedom, dignity of the individual; to encourage the highest and noblest
form of manhood; and to aid downtrodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social,
economic, and intellectual status.
