Original Resolution Honoring Alpha Phi Alpha

SRES 534 is a ceremonial Senate resolution honoring Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., on its 119th anniversary of founding. It recognizes the fraternity as the first intercollegiate Greek-letter organization founded by African-American men (in 1906) and highlights its mission of leadership development, academic excellence, and community service. The resolution formally commends the fraternity for its historical contributions, including its role in civil rights advocacy and notable members like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall. As a symbolic gesture with no binding policy changes, it does not affect legislation, funding, or specific individuals beyond the fraternity’s recognition.
