Though my name is Stephen fans I pledge Stone Mountain chapter of Kappa Psi Fraternity incorporated spring 14 a slow and I’m from Dallas Texas you know we push achievement in every field of human endeavor that’s what we live by that’s our philosophy it’s excelling spiritually physically mentally and really being the best of
The best it has affected me by knowing that I have brothers an organization that I can lean on in terms of you know some struggles especially being – or everyone knows that it’s not the easiest thing to do there have been a number of times where I’ve been able to reach out
To my LB being able to help me along the way and help me achieve to where I am today is made me a better person by really understanding that you know we don’t live this life just for us you know there’s so much more than just making money and just flexing all time
You know after a while and you realize like you really have to find what your purpose is basically to trust the process you know like life really does give you opportunities to learn the most about yourself there’s plenty of lessons and everything we do from learning to love
Our family more lying to push ourselves and better ourselves reading more this you know this really is pushing the envelope pumps them behind they do all the time is kind of like it’s on I wasn’t surprised so it’s actually happen about three days ago where you know check this
Slid in she was like hey honestly I’m this here so I can just feel through your beard like best verbatim her dad words so yeah like it happens all the time like I need compliments all the time so you know like I’m saying it and
You earlier you know I like I like my beard you know I’m a tough guy but it also helps that I get compliments so uh my beard means to me masculinity it means to me standing apart you know it takes a lot of effort
To race you know to grow a beard and you know it uh you know it gives a lot of compliments saying I had it growing the muscles nothing I’ve always said I’m all Drive ever I was rocking the goatee for a while like probably mostly college in
There honestly I think I’m I’m doing when the first pioneers growing a beard yeah my name is Joe Alexander I’m from Atlanta Georgia graduated from Morehouse College I’m a member of Omega sine Phi fraternity incorporated bloody sod chapter there you go Gregory bowler junior spring o8 the mighty melodic bloodiest hustle outside
Chapter of Omega sine Phi fraternity incorporated and I’m Jared feels 2007 spring 2007 initiate of the my melodic bloody up some Lanza chapter a deal made us a Phi Fraternity incorporated well for me I didn’t grow up with any type of individual that went to college so I was
The first in my family to go to college and graduate and what I recognized is that as I started looking back at the history I realized that Omega sci fi just really standing for more of friendship and then as well as me playing football at least for me I
Recognized it was so many cues or omegas that that played football so and I recognized a fan you did not have that at the time so that was a mediate value that I could add for me that’s compensating but kind of different um I don’t want to be accused since I was six
Years old one of my childhood mentors one of my coaches was a member of the major soft opportunity and he was very unconventional or capable – Billy becoming the man that I am today – two reasons why I want to become a member the celestials organization is one the
Brotherhood aspect so friendship and Brotherhood was very big to me growing up so a lot of my friends you know I thought unless my brothers and everything like that so when I draw a fraternity ever did like gained a lot more brothers and that was one of the main things so brotherhood and
Friendship was really really very important to me and another thing one of my mentors who actually is a star chapter brother I grew up in this house if my line brother that’s his father and he has purple couches yeah our paternity model is friendship is essential to the soul we have carbon
Principles manhood scholarship perseverance and uplift mainly it’s about what’s real right you know you feel like you are the cream of the crop and depend on these guys for certain things you know it’s almost to cut it though with if a member of will mix up our fraternity incorporated was to call
Me at 3:00 a.m. and say listen Joey I broke down fifty miles away I need a ride home I’m their brother their friendship you know if not depend on you and if I know you depend on me that’s going to leave a level of vulnerability that’s going to
Leave a level of trust and dependence on that person and you know you can’t really you can’t really survive without friendship I feel like a brand or something again that’s literally symbolic is able to transfer through time a lot better than verbal something that’s worth verbalized the reason why I
Feel makes my brand is so important is simple because and I mention this to Gregory earlier when you are a member of this organization you automatically assume that you are those of a certain caliber so therefore our brand alone means a lot to us if you google famous
Members of the makes up the Omega 5 turn incorporated you’ll see the best of the best yeah I think and then the biggest thing and you know we’re all married and so obviously the biggest thing is that if the wife didn’t like it you probably
Would love our beers and I know my wife assumed she says she saw it grow in she’s young she’s like all the comments usually that we need let’s say it’s female approve the day you go My name is Kyra Peterson and I am a fall 2010 initiate of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity incorporated through the same you chapters seated at Georgia State University I was the quad on my line and these money goes so my name is robert chambers I’m a team this year is
A new chapter in Savannah Georgia State University of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity incorporated chi Chi’s a new chapter at 16 I’m jacket I am the jewel Club may 97 and I am Reginald green jr. floppity initiated is a new chapter of Alpha Phi fraternity incorporated
I am the 8 the Ocho a of the line that’s so what they did was they formed a sort of a social club to kind of keep each other inspired you know what I mean and to hold each other accountable because this was a time when you know slavery
Was just a polished not too many decades ago the simple fact that bar fraternity didn’t have a framework to base themselves off of from any other african-american organizations like that really stuck out to me a history of you know inspirational figures you know a lot of the profits to read about in
History was you know Thurgood Marshall Arthur King know you happy with our entertainers you know Lionel Richie you know people that you see on TV like Stuart Scott you would have no idea they all party same addiction and you know it’s just a responsibility of like okay dr. King
Carried himself that way he probably looked to the founders they carried themselves that way it’s just like a trail now flashes the things that men have alpha have done you just don’t see any Ross and that only propels you to try to do something the same way if not
Greater you have to continue to push the bar and so to me talk about me talk here to talk about you know the people came before me to amazing things you love them I t’s a word to him I think it all sounds up the impact man
What are you doing to impact the community what are you doing to impact your family what are you doing an impact on people they’re around you that you interact with for five seconds and the grocery store I mean you’d be surprised how much those interactions can really affect
People to be an alpha man means to be a man of action to be a man of integrity so being alpha man means you can go out there into the wilderness it makes it matter whether or not you know you have people on you whether or not you might
You know how that support that you want to but you think you might need but you can make things happen with all those bills and I’m in this I think you take two of our aims and kind of just personified melodies and love for our make on their leave melodies and I’ll
Take care of your family make sure that your family moves around you in your community or what taken care of if it’s not financially that it’s you know emotionally there’s no it’s some type of protective state and then love from an economy loving your neighborhood with
The Bible says so even if you want take it from religious wise and internalizing the things that you know God wants us to do and personify on a day-to-day basis and spreading that love I mean I would like my kids to kind of take away some things I learned just from my
Interaction with alpha nothing that you really want is going to be easy anything worth having is worth working for and so remember that you know you’re not alone person in the world going through something always try your best to impact you around your news immunity and likes
It left for America really no matter what you go through in life you know you have to remember who you are you know remember what you want to be and don’t change you really for anything or anyone I would give the advice to younger people of my future children to not be
Afraid you know life is cyclical it has its ups it has its downs but the thing about being cyclical is that when you’re at your lowest you know wait at how it and work through it you’re you’re going to be back at the top again and even we
Learned a poem through our process and part of it goes stick to the fight when your heart is here you know so when you when you feel that heavy blow and you feel like you want to quit that’s what’s molding you into the person that you’re going to be
Commerce accessory is your barber and your tailor to be completely honest because they can turn you know I think I’m not gonna say like it’s a normal thing but it’s happened you know I love you beard Oh like for me it’s still relatively a new thing so like dang like
When you go a beard I didn’t know it’s like that like okay exactly so I’m I definitely get the compilation time time funny story so I was that I was on a date once I’m the girl right so right the bar chillin blah blah he’s got the
Door and he’s looking over so I’m assuming he’s looking at her like no whatever like no obviously you’re not gonna talk to her he starts to make his way around the room this is unacceptable so you want a little time think he’s gonna hurry because to me like you kind of those
Over the Ebro what you put in your beer for because that thing is immaculate take care you be uptight a
