On Dec. 4, 1906, the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity — the first Greek-letter organization for African American men — was founded at Cornell University. On Jan. 15, 1908, the first Greek-letter sorority for African American women, Alpha Kappa Alpha, was founded at Howard University. The formation of these organizations came at a time when Black students were fighting for inclusion and representation within higher education. Over 100 years later, these organizations are still thriving at colleges across America, providing a space to celebrate Black culture and serve local communities.
