When we read the title of our history, it is clear that the legacy of Alpha Phi Alpha is inextricably tied to the development of brothers in college life. Can we still claim this as our focus? Are our college chapters and college brothers as valued and important to us as they should be? Or, are we saying that college life has been developed to it's fullest extent?
We must again commit to a development in college life.
This is not a new problem, but one faced by our brotherhood for decades. Yet, seemingly we have neither the will nor desire to tackle this problem. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful. With Brother Mason's admonition to "remember the Seven," maybe we might find the muster to recommit ourselves and our Fraternity to the cause of developing our brothers in college.
While at General Convention, I hope that brothers will strive not to simply protect the facade of "the House." Rather, we ought protect its foundations - college men.
We must again commit to a development in college life.
Always onward...ever upward...I dedicated this to you!
