Why Alpha?
Hundreds maybe even thousands of men each day attempt to gain access into the prestigious organization of Alpha phi Alpha. Around twenty of those men attempt to join the Theta Rho Chapter, each with his own personal reasons. Some of my reasons for wanting to become a member of the Theta Rho Chapter may sound the similar to other individuals ,but I can guarantee they have a deeper meaning.

Although I have two brothers and one sister none of them grew up with me and understand what it took for me to become a man with no father figure. I’ve had to find my way to manhood on my own, with all respect to my mother a woman cannot raise a young man.

In tough situations I am known as the individual who keeps the level head and positive attitude no matter if the outcome is obviously a loss, I stay optimistic and find the good within the bad.

I would like to also be able to trust and rely on another person the way Alpha men trust each other. The way Theta Rho Chapter brother return back to VCU like they never left no matter what year they are from is a bond I would like to share as
