        Alpha Men are on the forefront of social change in America.  Although we all pursue goals in diverse fields of interest, we share a common mission in uplifting the economic condition of all our people.  It is simply not enough for an Alpha Man to obtain a college degree, still a larger task remains. An Alpha Man must provide sound leadership in his community, being committed to service.  He is charged to lend a hand to his fellow man.
