PROJECT ALPHA
Project Alpha, implemented in 1980, is a collaborative project between the fraternity and the March of Dimes Foundation. It is designed to provide education, motivation and skill-building on issues of responsibility, relationships, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases for young males ages 12-15 years. Designed to provide young men with current and accurate information about teen pregnancy prevention, Project Alpha consists of a series of workshops and informational sessions conducted by Alpha brothers.
GO TO HIGH SCHOOL, GO TO COLLEGE
Established in 1922, the Go-To-High School, Go-To-College program is intended to afford Alpha men with the opportunity to provide young participants with role models. The program concentrates on the importance of completing secondary and collegiate education as a path to advancement and to provide information and strategies to facilitate success.
A VOTELESS IS A HOPELESS
“A Voteless People is a Hopeless People” was established during the 1930s when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and lack of education about the voting process. Voter education and registration has since remained a dominant focus in the fraternity’s planning. The focus has shifted to promotion of political awareness and empowerment and was delivered most often through use of town meetings and candidate forums.
