In October Mr. Brandon Ross, RVH Assistant Administrator, was awarded Alpha Phi Alpha Brother of the Year for the state of South Carolina. He is a proud model of his fraternity's aims of Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind.
Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African American Men, was founded on December 4, 1906 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The visionary founders, known as the “Jewels” of the fraternity, are Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy.
