Realizing a need
for greater mental strength, unity, and fraternal brotherhood in the
male community on campus, seven men were steadfast in their efforts and
succeeded in establishing a chapter at Emory University (Atlanta, GA) in
the name and spirit of ALPHA. With tenacity similar to that displayed by
the fraternity's beloved "Jewels", these men pushed onward toward their
goal, never succumbing to the negative pressures and discouraging
verbiage that blocked their path. Instead, the pitfalls and obstacles
were handled with grace and determination exemplary of true Alpha men.
The foundation for the Mu Alpha Chapter was laid by our Charter Line on
March 27, 1976 when these seven men (pictured below) crossed the
"burning sands" into ALPHA LAND.
Since its inception
in 1976, Mu Alpha brothers have served the Emory and Atlanta communities
through various service projects. Mu Alpha's most note-worthy project is
its annual "Step for Sickle Cell" step show, through which over $40,000
has been donated to the Sickle Cell foundation of Georgia over the past
14 years.
