Union Alphas

Yesterday, the brothers of Pi Pi performed community service around Schenectady. The day began at Woodlawn Park where we participated in their annual Fall Rake Day, helping to beautify the park. We then moved on to COCOA House where we aided the staff in cleaning and reorganizing the house. Special thank you to everyone from Union who joined us in our endeavor yesterday.

The Brothers of the Internationally Renowned Pi Pi chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. encourage everyone to exercise their right and go out and vote today. Do not let the rain deter you. Those who came before us and paved the way endured far worse and still persevered. @ Union College

We would like to congratulate Brother Deshon Burgess (SP 16 #2) on getting drafted to the Erie BayHawks, NBA D/G League. Keep pursuing your dreams, good brother. Continue to hold the light of Alpha High 🏀🤙🏾

Brother Hernandez was able to spend his Saturday afternoon volunteering at Schenectady County Public Library alongside members of Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Make sure to always give back to your communities 💪🏾 #ΩΦΒ #ΦΙΑ

Who are our Undergraduate Brothers?

Meet Bro. Anthony Boone Jr. our SP 17 Solo. He is a Junior who currently majors in Africana Studies and Anthropology while also being on the Pre-Med Track. This past summer he was volunteering with New Haven Farms, an organization that works to turn abandoned land into gardens and sell the produce at a discount to people in the community. They also teach people in low-income areas how to grow their own food, eat healthy, and maintain overall healthy lifestyles. In the near future, he intends to go to a school of Public Health and work in the field of Epidemiology as well as policy. He is not physically on the Union College campus as he is studying abroad in Brazil. Hold the light high in your endeavors, good brother.

While it's been a little more than a month after the drastic events that have occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia, do you continue to have questions about this occurrence? This event is not about taking sides but rather we want to educate you and state THE FACTS as well as hear your opinions about THE FACTS! Why did such violent acts happened? Do you feel that the situation was handled well? Imagine that YOU were at the scene; what would be your reaction as well as the impact this would have on you? These are the various questions we will be touching upon and remember no need to have previous knowledge as we will provide a summary of what happened. Just come on by to Bronner (Smith) House, eat, and enjoy some nice small talk! Tomorrow, Tuesday September 19th from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Wishing safe travels to Bro. Boone Jr. (SP 17, Solo) as he embarks on his study abroad to Brazil where he will be studying several aspects of Brazilian culture such as film, language, the environment, and social change. May his experience be both academically and culturally enriching. Continue to hold the light high overseas.
