Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity
celebrating 100 years
The men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. need your help in leaving a legacy on the campus of Appalachian State University. Webster defines legacy as something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past. Some of you may not be aware but Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was the first black greek fraternity founded.
This exemplary organization was founded on December 4, 1906 at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. The 100th anniversary of this fraternity is quickly approaching and the brothers wanted to do something historical on this remarkable date. The seven men of the Pi Nu Chapter would like to leave a legacy on the campus of Appalachian State University that has been left through their seven founders. This legacy will be manifested through helping the Appalachian State University library collection become more diverse.
This campaign will be known as: 100 African American Books "Leaving a Legacy 100 Years Later." This campaign goal is to raise funds to enhance the selection available in the Carol Grotnes Library and Information Commons through African American works.
Please join with us and participate in this campaign by making a gift to the ASU Foundation, Inc. for the benefit of 100 African American Books Campaign. Our goal is to raise as much funds as possible to enhance the selection available in the Carol Grotnes Library and Information Commons through African American works by December 4, 2006.

APPALACHIAN INVOLVEMENT
The Brothers of the Pi Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., have participated in ASU's annual Martin Luther King Day Challenge. This is a day of service, which we refer to as "A Day on, and Not a Day off," for we take pride in knowing that Brother Martin Luther King, Jr. was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
The Pi Nu Chapter has adopted a street in Boone community to clean. This street is cleaned at least three times each semester.
The brothers of Pi Nu travel to Stanley, NC once a month to facilitate our national program Go-to-High School, Go-to-College Program in which we also implement our Project Alpha program. Through the Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College educational initiative, young men receive information and learn strategies that facilitate success.
As Alpha men, we provide youth participants with excellent role models to emulate. One of our very successful programs was delivering Teddy Bears to Mission Children's Hospital in Asheville. We were able to collect over 80 stuffed animals and collect $100 in donations. This is an overview of our work on the campus of Appalachian State University and our community.
