WATCH: Exploring Alpha Rho Chapter's Storied Legacy Via Decade By Decade Storytelling At The 2024 Centennial Great Gathering

Legacy storytelling is a powerful technique we often use to connect different generations within the Alpha Rho Chapter brotherhood. Older members possess a wealth of knowledge that can guide young members, while the latter bring fresh perspectives. On Saturday, January 6, 2024, the power of a great historical narrative was on full display as 505 chapter initiates, along with another 1,500 special guests, gathered for a decade by decade exploration of Alpha Rho’s 100-year history, revealing the deep traditions and meanings that have defined our collective journey in the esteemed Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
"The Alpha Rho Show" — a vibrant, well-illustrated stage presentation — was essential in ensuring that the chapter's contribution to the overall stature of the fraternity was made clear. The presentation was the highlight of our Centennial Great Gathering, and on-hand to witness this historic occasion were five General Presidents of our beloved fraternity.
Each decade's story served as a reminder of the principles that binds the chapter together, creating a sense of belonging and friendship among the Brotherhood. As we reflected on the rich heritage of Alpha Rho, we realized that the stories we shared honored our predecessors and shaped our future, and the clear essence of Alpha Rho is found in these tales that celebrated our values, ideals, and key moments throughout history.
Thank you to all the Brothers (62% of the living membership) who traveled from around the globe to experience Centennial as family, and we now invite you and others who may have missed the live presentation to journey back with us as we present perhaps the most brilliant retelling of Alpha Rho Chapter, historic Black Atlanta, and legendary Morehouse College ever compiled.
By all reviews received about our milestone event ... it was indeed, THE GREATEST GATHERING OF ALPHA RHO MEN, EVER!
