Inside Alpha South | 96th Southern Regional Convention

Inside Alpha South | 96th Southern Regional Convention | November 9, 2026

Greetings Brothers of Alpha South,

Our communities grow stronger when Alpha Men turn purpose into action. It is this spirit that calls us to Birmingham, Alabama, for the 102nd Anniversary and 96th Southern Regional Convention of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., March 17–21, 2027, at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC).

On behalf of the Southern Region Board of Directors, we proudly issue this Convention Call and invite you to gather under the theme: “Advocacy in Action: Transforming Communities Through Service and Brotherhood”.

This theme speaks to the responsibility we share as Alpha Men—to speak up where change is needed, serve where needs remain unmet, and support one another in doing the work. Our time together will offer opportunities to exchange ideas, strengthen our chapters, and prepare to make a greater impact in the communities we call home.

In the true spirit of manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind, we will also celebrate the friendships, achievements, and shared experiences that make Alpha South special. Whether you are attending your first Regional Convention or returning for another year, your presence and perspective are an important part of this gathering.

Our Birmingham-area host Chapters and Convention Planning team are preparing to welcome you and our guests to the Magic City with warm hospitality and a memorable convention experience.

Mark your calendars, encourage your chapter Brothers to attend, and come ready to connect, contribute, and leave renewed for the work ahead. Together, we will give life to our theme through the service we render, the causes we champion, and the Brotherhood we strengthen.

We look forward to welcoming you to Birmingham as Operation Alpha South continues to Protect, Preserve, and Promote the rich legacy of our great Southern Region.

Fraternally,

Join us in 2027 for the 102nd Anniversary and 96th Southern Region Convention from March 17 - 21, 2027 at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Center Complex in Birmingham, AL. Experience engaging sessions, networking opportunities, and vibrant local culture. Reserve your stay today at one of the recommended hotels below, for convenient access to all convention activities.

Chapters should be attentive to their inboxes, as the Southern Regional Chapter Tax and Delegate Registration Invoices have been emailed by our Fiscal Officers.

Invoices were sent to the official chapter email address listed in AlphaMX. If the email on record is outdated, inactive, or if your chapter did not receive the invoice, please reach out to our Regional Comptroller - Brother Brian Jefferies, at b.jefferiesapa@gmail.com for assistance and verification.

SPECIAL ATTENTION

Please note that once the Chapter Delegate Invoice has been paid in-full and the Fiscal Officers have verified the payment, the chapter president will receive an email containing the delegate registration code. This unique code is necessary for the chapter's designated delegates to complete their individual registrations. Each chapter delegate will use this code to register, unless the chapter has identified an officer who will handle the registration process on behalf of all delegates.

As a reminder, the registration code will NOT be released until payment has been received and officially validated. Additionally, the code is intended exclusively for the chapter's authorized delegates. Any attempt by individuals who are not official delegates to use the code will result in their registration being cancelled.

Help prepare the next generation of Alpha leaders by sharing your knowledge, experience, and perspective at the 2027 College Brothers Empowerment Retreat (CBER), January 29–31, 2027, at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia.

As planning continues, we invite proposals for engaging, interactive workshops that address the needs of today’s College Brothers. Sessions should offer practical tools to help Brothers lead effectively, prepare for their careers, and strengthen their commitment to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated.

Workshop proposals should align with one of the following tracks:

Chapter Sustainability

Personal Wellness

Personal & Professional Development

Involvement & Engagement Within Alpha

Whether your expertise comes from your profession, service to Alpha, or personal journey, we encourage you to share lessons that College Brothers can apply within their chapters, on their campuses, and in their communities. Proposed workshops should encourage active participation, meaningful dialogue, and clear steps Brothers can put into practice.

Bring your experience. Share your insights. Help equip our College Brothers for the work ahead.

Fraternally,

Brothers of Alpha South,

The power of Alpha has always been rooted in our unwavering commitment to leadership, scholarship, and service. This Giving Tuesday, we invite every Brother across the Southern Region to join us in turning that commitment into meaningful impact!

Your generosity will help advance initiatives focused on education, mentorship, leadership development, community service, and community engagement—investing in people, strengthening communities, and creating opportunities for generations to come.

No donation is too small, and no act of generosity goes unnoticed. When we give collectively, our impact extends far beyond what any one of us can accomplish alone.

SAVE THE DATE. PREPARE TO GIVE. SPREAD THE WORD.

Encourage your chapter Brothers, reconnect with fellow Alphas, and help amplify our collective call to action.

Every Brother. Every Dollar. Every Gift Counts.

Together, we can demonstrate that the strength of our Brotherhood is measured not only by what we stand for, but by what we give back.

A Day to Give, Invest, and Extend Our Impact.

Today We Prepare. December 1st, We Give. Tomorrow We Transform.
