The House of Alpha

“The House of Alpha”

Goodwill is the monarch of this house, men

Unacquainted, enter, shake hands, exchange

Greetings and depart friends.

Cordiality exist

Among all who abide within.

I am the eminent

Expression of friendship.

Character and Temperament change under my dominant power.

Lives once touched by me become tuned and are

Thereafter amiable, kindly, fraternal.

I inspire the musician to play noble sentiments and

Assist the chemist to convert ungenerous

Personalities into individuals of great worth.

I destroy ignoble impulses.

I constantly invoke Principles which make for common brotherhood

And the echo resounds in all communities and

Princely men are thereby recognized.

Education, Health, music, encouragement, sympathy, laughter,

All these are species of interest given of self Invested capital.

Tired moments find me a delightful treat, hours of

Sorrow, a shrine of understanding,

at all times I am Faithful to the creed of companionship,

to a few, I Am the castle of dreams, ambitious, successful,

Hopeful dreams.

To many, I am the poetic place

Where human feeling is rhymed to celestial

Motives; to the great majority,

I am the treasury of Good fellowship.
In fact, I am the college of friendship;

the University of brotherly love;

the school for the Better making of men.

I AM ALPHA PHI ALPHA!!!
