MISS BLACK & GOLD SCHOLARSHIP PAGEANT

ALPHA PHI ALPHA HISTORY

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. the first intercollegiate Greek-

lettered fraternity established for Black college students, was or-

ganized at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, in 1906. The

seven visionary founders at Cornell, known as the “Jewels” are:

Dr. Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle

Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert

Harold Ogle and Vertner Woodson Tandy.The fraternity initially

served as a study and support group for minority students who

faced racial prejudice, both educationally and socially, at Cor-

nell.The Jewel founders and early leaders of the fraternity suc-

ceeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha‟s princi-

ples of scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of

humanity. Alpha Phi Alpha chapters were established at other col-

leges and universities, many of them historically black institutions,

soon after the founding at Cornell. The first Alumni Chapter was

established in 1911. The fraternity integrated it‟s racial member-

ship in 1945. Since the fraternity‟s inception, it has expanded to

approximately 700 chapters scattered throughout the U.S., Carib-

bean Islands, Africa, Asia, Europe and the West Indies. Its mem-

bership is world-wide. To date, the fraternity has initiated over

200,000 members.

While continuing to stress academic excellence among its mem-

bers, Alpha also recognized the need to help correct the educa-

tional, economic, political, and social injustices faced by African-

American. The purposes of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. are:

To stimulate the ambition of its members; to prepare them for the

greatest usefulness in the causes of humanity, freedom and dignity

of the individual; to encourage the highest and noblest form of

manhood, and to aid down trodden humanity in its efforts to

achieve higher social, economic and intellectual status.

Our Mission Statement:

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. develops leaders, promotes broth-

erhood and academic excellence, while providing service and ad-

vocacy for our communities.

Our Motto:

First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All

Our Aims:

Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind

The founders of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. were no ordinary achiev-

ers. Given racial attitudes in 1906, their accomplishments were monumen-

tal. As founder Henry Arthur Callis euphemistically stated—because the

half-dozen African American students at Cornell University during the

school year 1904-05 did not return to campus the following year, the incom-

ing students in 1905-06, in founding Alpha Phi Alpha, were determined to

bind themselves together to ensure that each would survive in the racially

hostile environment. In coming together with this simple act, they preceded

by decades the emergence of such on-campus programs as affirmative ac-

tion, upward bound and remedial assistance. The students set outstanding

examples of scholarship, leadership and success—preceding the efforts

even of the NAACP and similar civil rights organizations.

Henry Arthur Callis became a practicing physician, Howard University Pro-

fessor of Medicine and prolific contributor to medical journals. Often regarded

as the “philosopher of the founders,” and a moving force in the Fraternity‟s de-

velopment, he was the only one of the “Cornell Seven” to become General

President. Prior to moving to Washington, D.C., he was a medical consultant to

the Veterans Hospital in Tuskegee, Alabama. Upon his death in 1974, at age 87,

the Fraternity entered a time without any living Jewels. His papers were donated

to Howard‟s Moorland-Spingarn Research Center.

Charles Henry Chapman entered higher education and eventually became

Professor of Agriculture at what is now Florida A&M University. A university

funeral was held with considerable Fraternity participation when he became the

first Jewel to enter Omega Chapter in 1934. Described as “a Brother beloved in

the bonds,” Chapman was a founder of FAMU‟s Beta Nu Chapter. During the

organization stages of Alpha Chapter, he was the first chairman of the Commit-

tees on Initiation and Organization.

Eugene Kinckle Jones became the first Executive Secretary of the National

Urban League. His 20-year tenure with the Urban League thus far has exceeded

those of all his successors in office. A versatile leader, he organized the first

three Fraternity chapters that branched out from Cornell—Beta at Howard,

Gamma at Virginia Union and the original Delta at the University of Toronto in

Canada. In addition to becoming Alpha Chapter‟s second President and joining

with Callis in creating the Fraternity name, Jones was a member of the first

Committees on Constitution and Organization and helped write the Fraternity

ritual. Jones also has the distinction of being one of the first initiates as well as

an original founder. His status as a founder was not finally established until

1952. He died in 1954.

George Biddle Kelley became the first African American engineer registered in

the state of New York. Not only was he the strongest proponent of the Fraternity

idea among the organization‟s founders, the civil engineering student also be-

came Alpha Chapter‟s first President. In addition, he served on committees that

worked out the handshake and ritual. Kelley was popular with the Brotherhood.

He resided in Troy, New York and was active with Beta Pi Lambda Chapter in

Albany. He died in 1963.

Nathaniel Allison Murray pursued graduate work after completing his under-

graduate studies at Howard. He later returned home to Washington, D.C., where

he taught in public schools. Much of his career was spent at Armstrong Voca-

tional High School in the District of Columbia. He was a member of Alpha

Chapter‟s first committee on organization of the new fraternal group, as well as

the Committee on the Grip. The charter member of Washington‟s Mu Lambda

Chapter was a frequent attendee of General Conventions. He died in 1959.

Robert Harold Ogle entered the career secretarial field and had the unique

privilege of serving as a professional staff member to the United States Senate

Committee on Appropriations. He was an African American pioneer in his

Capitol Hill position. He proposed the Fraternity‟s colors and was Alpha Chap-

ter‟s first secretary. Ogle joined Kelley in working out the first ritual and later

became a charter member of Washington‟s Mu Lambda Chapter. He died in

1936.

Vertner Woodson Tandy became the state of New York‟s first registered ar-

chitect, with offices on Broadway in New York City. The designer of the Frater-

nity pin holds the distinction of being the first African American to pass the

military commissioning examination and was commissioned First Lieutenant in

the 15th Infantry of the New York State National Guard. He was Alpha Chap-

ter‟s first treasurer and took the initiative to incorporate the Fraternity. Among

the buildings designed by the highly talented architect is Saint Phillips Episco-

pal Church in New York City. He died in 1949, at age 64.

The Brothers of the Tau Psi Chapter of

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorpo-

rated would like to welcome you to our

2nd Annual Miss Black & Gold Pag-

eant. The theme this year is, “Reign of

the Greek Goddess,” and we are ex-

tremely thankful to all of those that

have put in hard work to make this pag-

eant a success.

This has been a very successful year so

far for the chapter as we have stepped

up or involvement in service projects

and have implemented new initiatives

that align closely to our fraternity‟s stra-

tegic plan.

The brothers and I are thankful for the support that you continuously

provide, whether it be at a social function or a service project. Your

support motivates this brotherhood and allows us to fully devote much

effort into servicing our 14 county service areas: Weakley, Lake,

Obion, Dyer, Lauderdale, Tipton, Crockett, Gibson, Carroll, Henry,

Madison, Haywood, Fayette, and Hardeman. Our personal motto this

year has been to “STEP UP OUR „A‟ GAME” and I truly believe that

we are putting that motto into action; making it a priority to be of ser-

vice to ourselves, our university, and our surrounding communities.

Once again, we thank you for your support and hope that you enjoy this

event.

“My Queen” By: Brother Anthony Prewitt

I‟ve yearned for you with ages times

Patiently awaiting your arrival

I knew that the success of my kingdom

Rested with your survival

I saw your outer shell for years

But I couldn‟t interpret that part

Didn‟t recognize the queen you were

Until you read to me your heart

And like a Phoenix you rose from out the ashes

And blinded me with your soul

A spirit so bright, I craved the light

You made my future whole

And when you speak

I‟m speechless

When you smile

I‟m frozen

Because your beauty has no name

It‟s bred from a genuine heart of gold

I bask in your presence eagerly awaiting

Insight from your past...untold

And the wonders that lie behind your eyes

Intrigue me enough to stay

The experience of loving a pure soul

Won‟t let me turn away

My life, my every being

I offer in trade for your mind

Because I know if I could spend only seconds with you

A true Queen, I would definitely find

I humbly ask will you walk with me

Let me sit for hours, hearing your voice

Oh sweet music to my ears…

Give you my heart...I have no choice

So just sit on your thrown with an air of elegance

With pose in your black, fitted gown

And watch as an Alpha...makes his way

To place upon your head...a crown

As the brothers clasp hands and circle about

We realize our dream has come true

Because we know in our heart, this vision is clear

There will never be another Queen like you!

Goddess Of

Harmony

The Brothers of Tau Psi would like

to give a special tribute in simply

recognizing our 1st Miss Black &

Gold:

Miss Leslea Robertson

THE MISS BLACK & GOLD PAGEANT

The first national Miss Black & Gold Pageant was held during Alpha‟s 1976 Gen-

eral Convention in New York City. Miss Denise Smith, representing Georgia State

University, Atlanta, Georgia was awarded the first prize. The pageant was de-

ferred following the first event and reinstated during the Fraternity‟s 1982 General

Convention in Los Angeles, California.

The Tau Psi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha held it‟s very first Miss Black & Gold

Scholarship Pageant on November 13, 2009 in the University Center Ballroom.

Six young women participated, but only one stood out to become the first of

many...Miss Leslea Robert- son. The Miss Black and

Gold Scholarship Pageant is an event whose primary

purpose is to highlight and foster the inextricable con-

nection between success and etiquette amongst young

women. This pageant spot- lights the young women‟s

poise, self-confidence, communication skills, intelli-

gence, and beauty. In all, the Miss Black and Gold

Pageant encompasses true womanhood, success, and

confidence. Academic ex- cellence and scholarship are

greatly stressed in the com- petition with the Fraternity

providing the contestants with scholarships to assist

with the financial obliga- tions associated with post

secondary studies.

The pageant aims to portray African-American women in a strong, positive and

beautiful light. The pageant is not just a beauty contest, it is also is a scholarship

competition, and the top three winners earn an academic scholarship toward their

next semester. The winner of the Miss Black and Gold pageant will compete for

Miss Black and Gold of the Area, Western Region, and ultimately, the Nation.

The Miss Black and Gold Pageant is our way of showcasing the intelligence, tal-

ent, excellence, and unparalleled beauty of Black Women on the campus of the

University of Tennessee at Martin. We give our sincerest and most heartfelt thanks

to each of the young ladies who have participated. Each of you are truly a queen.

We thank you for representing yourselves, your families, your people, and last but

not least the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc in a very ladylike and re-

spectable manner.......Without further adue........

WHAT IS A GODDESS? by Genie Webster

A goddess invents her own life, and lives according to her own vision. This quality requires the

companion qualities of imagination and courage.

A goddess is autonomous. She seeks no one's approval, but listens to her own counsel. She an-

swers to no one. She does not try to impress anyone. Her work speaks for itself. She never

makes excuses and rarely offers explanations for her actions. She is not defensive for she is not

threatened by what other people may think of her. She is the queen of her own life and this is

reflected in her demeanor.

A goddess is passionate (not to be confused with manic). She has a palpable energy and enthu-

siasm that is contagious and beneficial to those around her. In esoteric terms, she raises the vi-

bration in a group situation. She inspires others.

A goddess is continually learning and evolving.

A goddess is authentic. The mask she presents to the outside world is the same as her innermost

heart. She has learned to express her emotions cleanly and healthily. What you see is what you

get. A goddess knows her own truth. She does not impose her truth on others, but will share her

wisdom when invited to.

A goddess takes care of herself. She does not expect others to take care of her. She treats herself

as well as she would treat her best friend. She is compassionate and forgiving with herself and

others. She gets enough rest and gives her body the right fuel -- both in oxygen and in food and

water. She knows what she needs. She feeds her soul.

A goddess is committed to healing the earth and works towards peace and understanding --

whether it is on a large scale or simply within her family and closest circle of friends. She con-

tributes to cleaning up the environment and teaches the next generation to do likewise.

A goddess sees her body (and the earth) as sacred, and is in tune with natural cycles. She is

comfortable with her sexuality.

A goddess has learned balance and patience. Flow and ebb. Waxing and waning. A goddess

does not freak out during ebb or waning times. She uses it wisely for rest, reflection, and plan-

ning.

A goddess has learned to trust her intuition and inner knowing. She has learned to tap into this

source at will.

A goddess has learned to let go of the need to control the flow of the river. She has discovered

the futility of trying too hard. She has learned to ride the wave and go with the flow, to ask for

and accept help when required. She is flexible, fluid, and adaptable. She has given up the need

to control or manipulate. She does not pout or whine when she does not get her way.

A goddess communicates her boundaries. She is gentle but firm when her boundaries are vio-

lated. She respects others' boundaries. She asks for clarification when necessary.

A goddess recognizes and honors other goddesses and gods. She lends her support to the work

of other god/desses. She does not feel competitive or threatened by other goddesses and under-

stands that what is good for one is good for all, and that when one shines, the light benefits all.

A goddess knows how to share and is generous of spirit, but she knows her limitations and does

not give more than what she can afford -- emotionally, financially, physically, or energy-wise.

A goddess's natural state is one of joy and gratitude. She is also at home with her shadow, and

will honestly mourn her losses and explore her fears. She understands that everyone experi-

ences pain -- it is part of life on earth. Therefore she works through her own pain with courage

and dignity, not trying to sidestep it, or numb it, but to get through it and learn from it.

A goddess is comfortable with death, and has learned to let go.... of relationships, concepts, and

material possessions that are worn out, or that no longer serve her growth.

" A woman who is in the process of learning to know, accept and love

herself on all levels, Mind Body and Spirit. A woman who, be-cause she focuses on personal growth and self awareness, experiences a

life, increasingly filled with peace, love, joy, passion and fun. A woman that understands that she has unlimited capacity to make her life anything she wants. A woman who is inspired to give to those

around her our of her sense of gratitude and abundance."

A Goddess for Me Marcus Blake

I love everything about you Yet, saying all that

I can never picture myself Telling you how much

"I love you" Your soft presence gives the air life

You lift up the seldom that brings me down So having you around me

Couldn't make me anymore happy Your a rose that shines more than the moon

Like a soft warm breeze in the month of June You make everything seem perfect While i gaze at your diamond eyes My reflection is erased, and hidden

Lost in your void of complexity Your a goddess in disguise, I see A divine present from the gods for me

What better than to have something so divine To love and cherish throughout all of time

Her power is her freedom

her joy is boundless

sometimes soft and gentle,

sometimes like a hurricane

she takes you,

Her laughter owns the sky

of wilderness enchantment,

vibrant lightning

bringing rush of life,

wherever it may strike.

Bow your head in reverence

and pray!

Her smile

LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT AND RECOGNIZE THE

YOUNG WOMAN WHO RAISED THE MOST

MONEY TOWARDS ASSISTING IN THE MEN IN

THE MAKING YOUTH LEADERSHIP SYMPOSIUM!

Goddess of Philantrophy:

Dominique Wilson

The Queen A Queen is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from

the person she is with, or does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of

articulating her needs.

A Queen is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true..... She knows love, therefore she

gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated.

If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.

A Queen has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance.

She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them. A Queen knows

her past, understands her present and

moves toward the future.

A Queen knows the Creative Energy. She knows that with

this the world is her playground, but without she will just be played. A Queen does not live in fear of the future

because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons, meant

to bring her closer to self knowledge

and unconditional self love. Queen,
