Astrong plea was made to the brotherhood to support the Million Man March and Day of Atonement by registering and actively participating in the march.

Do you recall (know) any of the old great songs of Alpha?
Wlien did you last sing the “Alpha Sweetheart Song”?
How would you like to occasionally bring to life some of thesefadingmemories?
SWEETHEART OF APHI A
Sweetheart of APhi A
From you I'll never stray I'll always be in love with you. And if perchance we part You'll still be in my heart I'll always be in love with you.
The tender love light gleams
Within your eyes that shine And from their depths there beams
That good ole Alpha sign.
Alpha Phi Alpha Girl
To me you're all the world I’ll always be in love with you.
TOAST SONG
Like rare old wines you'll never die
We'll sing thy praise as years go by
And these are words we'll always say Atoast, atoast for APhi A.
Though we may part when school is done
We'll cherish memories, days of fun.
