The VSU Alpha Phi Nupes 90th Anniversary Homecoming Celebration 2025
Celebrating 90 Years of Brotherhood, Legacy, and Excellence.
As we approach a historic milestone — the 90th Anniversary (1935–2025) of the Alpha Phi Chapter —we are excited to invite all to join us in celebration during Virginia State University’s Homecoming weekend, October 23–25, 2025.
Introduction
This milestone is more than a celebration — it’s a reflection of our enduring Brotherhood and an investment in our future. We are calling on every brother from Alpha Phi to be part of something historic. This celebration is more than just a reunion; it is a reaffirmation of our brotherhood and our commitment to Alpha Phi’s ongoing excellence.
Our History
William Thomas Carter, with the help of the Alpha Gamma Chapter at Virginia Union University and a delegation of brothers from the Washington Alumni Chapter, founded the Alpha Phi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi at Virginia State College on March 30, 1935. Charter members included Marcellus Winston, John M. Hunter, Thomas Verdell, James A. Johnson, and A. Rouse. Because of Alpha Phi’s reputation for developing great brothers and its legendary hospitality, it is known as “The Beast of the East” and stands as a beacon of light throughout Kappadom.
Why This Celebration Matters
The 90th Anniversary is more than a milestone — it’s a tribute to The Bond and the true meaning of Brotherhood. For 90 years, Alpha Phi brothers have been connected by more than just letters; we are united by shared sacrifice, unshakable loyalty, and a commitment to one another that transcends time. This celebration honors the journey of those who came before us, the strength of the brotherhood we share today, and the responsibility we carry to leave an even greater legacy for those who will follow. It is a reminder that The Bond is eternal — and through it, we stand as one.
