Tate Williams Education & Leadership Foundation

History

In the (twelf)th month, on the fourth day, in the year nineteen hundred and six at Cornell University, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, was established by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of brotherhood among African descendants in this country. Central to the work of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind, and it is through this lens that the Tate Williams Education & Leadership Foundation (TWELF) was established through the Kappa Lambda Chapter to provide educational support to the Greater Guilford County community.
