SUBMISSION INFORMATION Here at THE SPHINX, we want the magazine to focus on the mission of the fraternity. While doing such, we want to recognize the accomplishments and successes of our brothers and chapters. Our readership is diverse, and should be able to relate to and/or take away something impactful that will inspire them to support or get involved with the initiatives of chapters and brothers. We want to show how what we do at Alpha affects the world around us. When writing your submission to THE SPHINX, here are some things you should keep in mind: 1. Focus on answering these 3 questions with compelling answers: Who are we? What are we doing (or did we do)? Why does it matter (within Alpha and within the community at large)? 2. Your goal should not be to get featured in THE SPHINX but rather to live our mission and impact our communities, which is what will drive the focus of our stories here at THE SPHINX. ALPHA PHI ALPHA DEVELOPS LEADERS, PROMOTES BROTHERHOOD AND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, WHILE PROVIDING SERVICE AND ADVOCACY TO OUR COMMUNITIES. Live the mission. 3. Collaborate: In order to build the brand of Alpha, we have to collaborate with other organizations and individuals; they have to see what we are doing and want to support. As such, when you are writing your submission, include an interview and/or quote from someone who is not an Alpha. This brings the community into the conversation and ultimately broadens our readership.
