Recognizing March 4, 2025, as Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Day at the State Capitol.
The Texas House of Representatives has passed a resolution recognizing March 4, 2025, as Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Day at the State Capitol. This ceremonial resolution honors the fraternity's founding in 1906 as the first intercollegiate Greek-letter organization for African Americans and its century-long legacy of civic engagement, leadership, and contributions to civil rights. It acknowledges the fraternity's history in Texas, including prominent alumni and its role in advancing educational and social justice. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic tribute to the organization's impact.
