SUMMARY:98th General Convention / 119th Anniversary Convention
DESCRIPTION:CALL TO CONVENTION\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDear Brothers\, \nIn accordance with Article V\, Section 1.2 of the Constitution of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity\, Inc.\, I do hereby issue the “Official Call” for the ‘Men of Distinction’ of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity\, Inc. to convene for the 98th General Convention and 119th Anniversary Convention\, July 16-20\, 2025\, at the Philadelphia Convention Center in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania. \nThe theme of our convention is “Reimagining Alpha for the Future\,” which ushers in a new era for Alpha. In prior administrations\, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity\, Inc. has dedicated itself to much needed critical evaluation\, internal development\, and the strengthening of our foundation and Brotherhood.  \nAs a result\, we are now poised and prepared to be fearless in encouraging new\, bold\, and creative ideas embracing best practices that inform\, engage\, and mobilize our Brotherhood for our noble work along with technology that ensure our sustainability and competitiveness for the future.  \nFor this convention\, we will utilize our new Sphinx Hub Mobile App\, which now replaces Guidebook for maintaining the event schedule and updates as well as eliminates MailChimp for any newsletters and messaging. It also encapsulates Alpha MX\, Alpha University\, the former\, Alpha Elite. \nWe will focus on a specific group of Brothers with the purpose of raising their ALPHAIQ!  We have planned a more streamlined\, poignant\, and intentional experience for our General Business Sessions thanks to Official Pre-Convention Meetings and Workshops eliminating much of the time-consuming\, but necessary background\, discussion\, and mandated completion. \nWithin our leadership\, we welcome new General Board members and elect our next General Treasurer as well as celebrate those rolling off our General Board. \nThe 98th General Convention and 119th Anniversary Convention\, as always\, is not only about the work of Alpha\, but is also a celebration and a time for connection. Our convention and the city of Brotherly Love\, in general\, aims to offer a variety of Brotherhood and social experiences that hope to entertain as well as strengthen our bond while positively showcasing our presence and brand to the public. \nI look forward to joining you at our 98th General Convention and 119th Anniversary Convention\, where we can Shake Hands\, Exchange Greetings\, and Depart Friends. \nAlways Fraternal\, \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeneral President \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWELCOME TO PHILLY!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhiladelphia is where America began. It’s where the Founding Fathers made history. It’s America’s first UNESCO World Heritage City. It’s about diversity and innovation\, pretzels and cheesesteaks\, Betsy Ross and Ben Franklin. \nBut Philly? Philly is the murals and street art that decorate each neighborhood. Philly is a food scene that’s not just award-winning — it’s game-changing. Philly is where “Go Birds” is a greeting\, and love is a way of life. \nPhiladelphia wrote America’s story. Philly is where you’ll write yours. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVENUE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPennsylvania Convention Center\n1101 Arch St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19107 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Convention Center is among the nation’s premier meeting and convention facilities with advanced technology\, a remarkable Pennsylvania-based art collection and unmatched views of Philadelphia’s famous City Hall. Attendees will appreciate direct access to transportation options\, including bus\, subway\, regional rail\, and taxis. With more than 14\,000 hotel rooms within walking distance and world-class restaurants\, shops and cultural attractions across Center City\, Philadelphia offers a memorable visit. The Convention Center’s convenient location in the heart of downtown Philadelphia also makes it easier to explore the city’s neighborhoods. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAGENDA AT A GLANCE\n\n \n \n \n
