emory university Mu Alpha Chapter was duly chartered on the campus of Emory University (Atlanta, Georgia) on March 27, 1976. Thus, Alpha Phi Alpha (Mu Alpha) became the first predominately Black Greek-letter organization, as well as the fourteenth fraternity, on Emory's campus. The chapter was born out of the desire to add new dimensions to the Black college life at Emory and it truly has. Since Mu Alpha's inception, an unprecedented sense of belonging, unity and purpose has imbued its members and many of their classmates. The majority of the brothers have common career goals and, therefore, one of their strongest bonds is a high scholastic aptitude for the health sciences. As a result, these brothers find their extracurricular interests converging in the health field.' The establishment of Mu Alpha was made possible by several members of atlanta's alumni chapter, Eta Lambda. The brothers of Mu Alpha were initiated by Brothers J o s e p h L. McGhee (1st President of Eta Lambda); Jacob B. Adams, M.D.; Father H. J. C. Bowden; Rudolph Cohen; Charlie J. Moreland; Frank Wiley; N. C. Norman; and Andrew J. Lewis, II. A very special note of appreciation must be extended to Brothers Ozell Sutton, Southern Vice President, and Isaac H. Miller, III, Southern Assistant Vice President, for their e f f o r t s in coordinating the establishment of Mu Alpha. Also, Brothers A. J. Lewis II and Robert Willis (President of Eta Lambda) worked diligently throughout the chartering process. Mu Alpha's first banquet was held on the evening of March 27th at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta Hotel, where the brothers and their guests enjoyed a traditional Alpha meal. Among the guests were many of the parents, several friends and members of Eta Lambda Chapters, including Brothers 50
