Now more than ever, our world needs Alpha men, men of distinction, purpose, and unwavering commitment to service. Together, we will focus on moving our Brotherhood Forward, strengthening ourselves so that we may better serve our Fraternity, our Families, our Communities, and Ourselves.

Atlantic City will provide the perfect backdrop for fellowship, learning, and celebration as we honor our legacy and prepare for the future.

Brothers, this is our time. Let us come together in brotherhood, purpose, and innovation to ensure that Alpha Phi Alpha continues to lead with Value, Impact, and Progress for generations to come.

WE REMEMBER. WE HONOR. WE SERVE. Today, Brothers of Alpha East, we pause to honor the courageous men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces and defended the freedoms we hold dear. Their service represents the highest ideals of courage, commitment, sacrifice, and patriotism. From the battlefield to the skies, the seas, and beyond, generations of veterans have answered the call to serve something greater than themselves. We honor those who returned home, those who continue to carry the unseen burdens of service, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. As members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., we recognize that service is at the heart of our brotherhood. Our principles of Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind reflect the values embodied by so many who have served our nation. To our Alpha Brothers who have worn the uniform, we salute you. To the families who have stood beside our service members, we thank you. And to every veteran who has sacrificed in service to our country, your legacy will never be forgotten. May we honor our veterans not only with words of gratitude, but through meaningful action, continued support, and an unwavering commitment to those who have served. Happy Veterans Day! We Remember. We Honor. We Serve. 06! Onward and Upward. Fraternally, Bro. Rasheen E. Smith Eastern Regional Vice President Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.® @thealphavip #AlphaEast #AlphaPhiAlpha #VeteransDay2026 #WeRememberWeHonorWeServe #AlphaMenServe #ManlyDeeds #ServiceAndSacrifice #OnwardAndUpward

The 2026 Eastern Region College Brothers Retreat...

Brothers of Alpha East: There are days that pass into history, and there are days that remain forever in the heart of a nation. September 11, 2001, is one of those days. Brother VP @thealphavip remembers being a recent UMD graduate working his very first job as a contractor, participating in a Pentagon briefing that morning. As Alpha East, we remember the lives that began that morning like any other, but never made it home. We remember the families who said goodbye without knowing it would be their last. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, the ordinary people who became extraordinary heroes, and the countless lives forever changed. We remember the pain. But we must also remember the love, courage, and humanity that rose from the devastation. In the hours and days that followed, differences seemed smaller. Strangers reached for one another. Communities stood together. A grieving nation discovered that even in darkness, strength comes from unity, compassion, and service. As men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., we understand that remembrance must be more than words. Manly Deeds and Love for All Mankind challenge us to honor sacrifice through how we live, serve, and care for one another. Twenty-five years later, time has moved forward, but our responsibility to remember has not. Remember those we lost. Honor those who answered the call. Cherish those we still have. Serve with purpose. Stand together. And as always, We never, ever forget. #AlphaEast #AlphaPhiAlpha #NeverForget #25yearslater #911remembrance

Happy Father's Day to the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. Eastern Region! 🎩 Today we celebrate every brother wearing the crown of fatherhood; dads, granddads, surrogate fathers, godfathers, mentors, and the sponsors who stepped up when a young man needed someone to believe in him. Fatherhood isn't always about blood. Sometimes it's a Big Brother, a chapter advisor, or a brother who simply showed up when it counted. Alpha men have been fathering in our homes, our chapters, and our communities. To every brother holding that title in any form please know, we see you, we honor you, and we celebrate you today. 🖤 Happy Father's Day, Brothers. 👨🏾‍👦🏾👨🏿‍👧🏿👴🏾 #AlphaPhiAlpha #EasternRegion #FathersDay #ServantsOfAll #InTheBond #1906 #AlphaEast

Happy Father's Day to the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. Eastern Region! 🎩...

Today, the Eastern Region of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated proudly joins our nation in celebrating the 251st Birthday of the United States Army. For 251 years, Soldiers have answered the call to serve with courage, honor, and selfless commitment, defending the freedoms and ideals that define our nation. Their sacrifices have strengthened America and inspired generations of leaders to place service above self. As members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, we are especially proud of the countless Brothers who have donned the uniform and served with distinction throughout our nation's history. Among them is our beloved Jewel, Vertner Woodson Tandy, who not only helped establish the world's first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity founded by African American men, but also served as a commissioned officer in the United States Army during World War I. His legacy reminds us that leadership, excellence, and service to country are inseparable. For over a quarter of a millennia, the United States Army has embodied the principles of discipline, sacrifice, integrity, and selfless service. These are values that have long stood at the heart of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated. On this historic occasion, we honor all Soldiers, veterans, and military families whose dedication continues to safeguard our nation and inspire future generations. On behalf of the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, I extend our deepest gratitude and congratulations to the United States Army on its 251 Birthday. May we never forget that freedom endures because brave men and women have always been willing to defend it. Happy 251st, Army. #USArmy #AlphaEast #AlphaPhiAlpha #EasternRegion #ThisWeWillDefend
