In the spirit of true and genuine brotherhood, it gives me great pleasure to give a shotout to all of my brothers of Alpha Eta chapter worldwide. December 6, 1935 was the day the world recieved this unique chapter and since then, we have been changing the Tallahassee community by way of the campus of Florida A&M University. Alpha Eta men have always stood out amongst the masses. We've had the pleasure of being chartered by one of our fraternity founders, MHF Leonard F. Morse. We've had the pleasure of being chartered by our fraternity's tenth international president MH Richard A. Billings. Lastly, we've had the pleasure of our chapter being chartered by the world renowned scientiests, MH George Washington Carver. We were also the first undergraduate chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. to be established in the great state of Florida.Great men have come to our doors, petitioned our knowledge in hopes of membership, and grew through our ranks to affect the lives of those they've come in contact with. I could not see myself being born in and belonging to any of chapter in Sigmadom. Hats off to you Alpha Eta. It is here I learned the true essense of IYHIDM. I'll carry the experiences, treasure the memories, and value the lessons affored to me for the rest of my life because the tenets, precepts, and values are just that priceless. Through all of the ups and downs, good times and bad, I know that I got a lot more from this undergraduate chapter than I could have ever offered it. I could go on and on about the greatness of this particular house in Sigma and the legacy it continues to build 75 years later; however, I'll end modestly by saying these words:
March On March On Ye Mighty Host, Nor Think the Journey Done. Nor of the Future Deeds to Boast, Till We've the Victory Won......
