Our 93rd Anniversary Eastern Regional Convention of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated April 17thโ€“ April 20th, 2025, in North Bethesda, MD.

This year our convention theme is “Securing The Legacy, Brick By Brickโ€. This statement serves as both a reflection on the monumental contributions of Alpha men throughout history and as a charge to prepare for the challenges and opportunities that await us.

In a world increasingly driven by technological advancement, this yearโ€™s convention will explore and embrace digital innovation and artificial intelligence (AI). The education, cultivation, leveraging, and mastery of emerging technologies will aid us in thoughtful, efficient, and effective leadership in our communities.

Together, we will reaffirm our commitment to the Brotherhood, recognizing that the strength of our fraternity resides in our collective vision and dedication. As we look toward North Bethesda, Maryland; our host chapters and esteemed Brothers, Eastern Regional Vice President, Christopher G. Ellis Jr. and Eastern Regional Assistant Vice President, Yousif N. Omer await our arrival, they are eager to showcase AlphaEastโ€™s best.

We encourage early registration and invite you to bring your families as we create memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to “Securing the Legacy, Brick By Brick”.

Alpha Phi Alpha believes in this change and when we stand together, we show the world that justice, equity, and freedom are worth raising our voices for.

Following the arrest of our Brother, Mayor Ras Baraka, outside an ICE detention center, Brothers of the Alpha Alpha Lambda Chapter and the Eastern Region were joined by Eastern Regional Vice President Brother Christopher Ellis to mobilize in Newark to continue to protest and demand his release.

We stand in solidarity with Mayor Baraka and all those who peacefully challenge injustice.
In alignment with our mission of service and advocacy, AlphaEast has launched โ€œWe Lead. We Read.โ€ A region-wide campaign promoting literacy and community engagement.

Yesterdayโ€™s kickoff featured Bro. Christopher Ellis, Eastern Regional Vice President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., alongside First Lady Andrea Ellis and their daughter Nicole, reading to her kindergarten class at the Albany Academies. Brothers across the region are engaging in this literacy campaign for the entire month of May. ๐Ÿ“š

Through reading sessions and book donations, Alpha men are stepping up as role models to inspire a love for reading and help close the literacy gap in our communities. ๐Ÿก

Literacy is more than reading, itโ€™s foundation for empowerment.
