"I wish to urge upon all of the brothers the necessity for a broader bond of brotherhood in the communities where you reside. After allegiance to your God, family and country, let nothing shake your love for the fraternity and its ideas. Let every brother be truly a brother, promote his interest as if it were yours and show to the world that Alpha Phi Alpha stands for more than mere words.
~Jewel Robert Harold Ogle, 1936
