Fresh from the Hill: Inside Stories of Noteworthy Cornellians
Society & Culture
Did you know the first intercollegiate historically African American Greek-lettered fraternity was founded here at Cornell? Now 114 years old, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has grown to 706 chapters across the country. Hear from Alpha Brothers Eric Elmore '86, JD '89 and Ernie Jolly '09 about the impact this organization had on their Cornell experience and how they view and serve in the world today.
“Almost at our inception we were about developing leaders and lifting our community and we have continued to do so today.” - Eric Elmore
“One of the things Alpha Phi Alpha is known for is developing leaders. Look to any industry, you’re going to find an Alpha somewhere leading an organization or making history somehow.” - Ernie Jolly
