Founded in 1906, <br />Being the first of it's kind, <br />there were no warnings, disguise or <br />signs, <br />Only skills left behind from the <br />wise. <br />Giving today's youths the tools to stand <br />up and rise. <br />Legends are known to last through all <br />eternity. <br /> For seven jewels blessed the world with <br />inspiration and unity. <br />Creating a monument known today as <br />ALPHA PHI ALPHA fraternity. <br />Born in a era of hostile and disfunctional <br />times, <br />For scholarship, leadership, and successs <br />are the gems of all kinds, <br />Yet, the right for higher education was the moving <br />force of there minds. <br />For this dedication to the colors of black and <br />gold, <br />Where brotherhood, <br />Leadership, <br />Excellence, <br />and Success can't be bought or sold. <br />For now this is written in stone. <br />So may god continue to bless all with integrity and <br />unity, <br />For he has given us a gem in ALPHA PHI ALPHA <br />Fraternity. <br /> The End<br /><br />Tiffany Saxon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alpha-phi-alpha/
