Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. was founded Tuesday, December 4, 1906 as the first Black, Inter-Collegiate Greek-Lettered fraternity on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by our Seven Jewels. Built on the aims of manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind.Fraternity Motto: "First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All"Since its inception in 1909 at the 5th Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Epsilon has continued to carry on the great traditions of Epsilon's 103 years of success and the legacy that is Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. On Friday, April 10, 2009, the Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. reached its 100th year in existence. This milestone was not only an accomplishment for the chapter, but for the entire University of Michigan community, the city of Ann Arbor, and the Michigan District and Midwestern Region of Alpha of Alpha.Ever clinging to the motto “Nothing Questionable is Accepted,” we at Epsilon chaptercontinue the tradition of excelling scholastically, athletically, and socially. A testament to this truth, Epsilon Chapter boasts 10+ Phi Beta Kappa Members, 10+ Athletic All-Americans as recently as 2000, and a steady stream of honors, awards, and accolades for service. We strive through comradeship to attain the noble goal of a balance between social and academic life and have proven wrong those who declare that both of these phase of existence are incompatible and mutually inhibitory.We understand and recognize that past is prologue to the future and that an intimate familiarity with and reverence for what has gone on before is both central and essential to our ongoing development and survival. Brotherhood, scholarship, leadership, and service, the four principles upon which the Jewels founded Alpha Phi Alpha, continue to be the guiding values of Epsilon. It can be said that fraternity life in Alpha Phi Alpha has shown us that the ideals to which we aspire are worth striving for and that Epsilon chapter continues to be a ‘rendezvous for fraters, a sanctuary for scholars, and a haven for gentlemen.’
