Alphas of Prairie View Inc. is an 501(c )(7) social organization formed by Alpha Phi Alpha Inc. fraternal brothers associated with Prairie View A&M University.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, is the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African-Americans. Alpha Phi Alpha Inc. was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York on December 4, 1906, by seven extraordinary African-American men known as the Jewels. Out of this beginning came successive college and university chapters throughout the United States and abroad, many of them at HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities).
The History of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity at Prairie View A&M University dates back over 50 years beginning with the Delta Theta Chapter in Fall 1964 to the current Eta Gamma (Mackin’ΗΓ) collegiate chapter and Epsilon Tau Lamba graduate chapter at Prairie View today. Since the initial founding and subsequent establishment of the Eta Gamma chapter, Prairie View Men Of Alpha have continued to live up their the organization’s motif as “Men Of Distinction”. Eta Gamma Chapter members have gone on to achieve successful careers as engineers, physicians, military offices, lawyers, architects, dentists, managers, educators, scientists and even members of the U.S. Congress. The Eta Gamma Chapter boasts one of the strongest and most enduring legacies of any other Chapter in Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated.
