A Message From the Desk of the Southern Regional Vice-President

Brother Matthew S. Bradford

It is my honor to greet you as your Southern Regional Vice President and to introduce the very first issue of Inside Alpha South under this administration. As we mark the 75th day of service together, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to connect with many of you—through your texts, emails, in-person conversations, and especially during the seven Town Hall Listening Sessions held August 10–12. Your presence, engagement, and honest feedback have already begun shaping the direction of Operation Alpha as we move forward.

In the coming weeks, I look forward to reconnecting with many of you as District Conferences commence across the Region. Let us continue to build on our shared commitment, knowing that we get things done because We Are Alpha South!

Southern Regional Fall Board Meeting

A Strong Start: Reflecting on Our Southern Region Fall Board Meeting

The Southern Region’s Fall Board Meeting, held from September 12 to 14, powerfully launched the Operation Alpha South administration. The weekend was filled with purposeful energy and Brotherhood, setting a determined tone for our work ahead.

We witnessed a deep commitment to excellence in every detail, from insightful presentations to comprehensive reports. The fellowship among brothers was the true highlight, powerfully reinforcing the bonds we share.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our leadership team, past vice presidents, district directors, and host chapters for their dedication and hospitality. The road ahead requires unity and perseverance, and this meeting has proven that we are ready. Together, we will raise the standard and lead with purpose.

WE ARE ALPHA SOUTH!

Quote of the Day

“The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was organized to stimulate and unite promising young men for the leadership in the extension of American democracy in all fields. The fields of social and public service, the church, the lay, education, the medical profession, labor and the press, have all been molded by the leadership of these men.”

Jewel Henry Arthur Callis, August 1956
