I AM ALPHA
In 1906, 7 young men from Cornell
Shared a vision that could never fail
Their vision was made a reality
Creating for all others, an opportunity
The first black Greek organization was created
A brotherhood never to be duplicated
A selective union,
Allowing only a certain type of man
An ALPHA man strong,
Intelligent and proud
That type of man who stands out in a crowd
Emphasizing service and unity
A model which others would soon see
They were the founding fathers who led the way
And then from ALPHA came AKA
Created by 16 precious pearls
1908 was the year of the pretty girls
The FIRST black Greek sorority
Holding true values of unity,
Scholarship, and service to all mankind
The model woman for all womankind
With this the first family is now complete
Accept the truth and bow before our feet
Don't deny your history, for it is the truth
You should never deny me, you must respect your roots
I am your mother
I am your father
I am ALPHA PHI ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA

Across the golden sands of Egypt seven jewels kneeled before the sphinx
Taking the vow, first men of Greekdom you are the Alpha, the beginning link
Nubian princes armed with the shield of truth
These African kings are profoundly blessed with all of the virtues of youth
Soldiers that guard and preserve the rich culture in the pyramids of Egypt
Deserve first place in African royalty and God has bestowed this gift
A conception that took nineteen hundred and six years, producing men of wisdom strength and power
Bringing fourth peace, elegance and love these men exhibit infinite dignity and valor.
The Nubian princes live among kings, distinguished brothers of the black and gold
The men are rare with dispositions as calm as the sea and spirits ice cold
These African kings are the brothers to Nefertiti and the sons of Cleopatra
Our Greek royalty exists transcending time
With decorated and honored Men of Alpha Phi Alpha
