uab lota Nu with charity for all The Brothers of Iota Nu Chapter would like to extend greetings to all Brothers of the light. It is essential for the light of Alpha Phi Alpha to shine bright so that it will forever lead us in the direction of manly deeds, scholar-
ship, and love for all mankind. Needless to say, the light has shown Iota Nu the direction. The summer quarter 1983 saw the initiation of the pledge line, "Genesis VI," into Alphadom. These young men were George Thomas, Carlos Morrison, LeEric Johnson, Anthony Burrell, James Bolden, and Anthony Gordon. These Brothers have been very active since they have come into the chapter. On Friday, October 14, a private get together was held with the sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., in an effort to promote brother and sisterhood. This affair was held in our new University Student Center, making us the first Greek organization to have a function there. On Tuesday, October 18, Brothers from Iota Nu joined with Birmingham's first Black mayor, Brother Richard Arrington, Jr., along with the University of Alabama Birmingham's President Richard S. Hill, Jr., in dedication ceremonies for the new Susan Mott Webb Nutrition Science Building. The Brothers were grateful to be a part of this history-making event. Iota Nu stresses high academic achievement and good character among its members. This is why we have produced two "Who's Who Among Students In American Universities and Colleges" for the 1984 edition. These Brothers are Daryl Dwayne Jessie and Everett Dwayne Rachel. Nominations were based on academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extracurricular activities and potential for continued success. 53
