Since its inception Alpha has worked to stimulate the ambition of its members; to prepare them for the greatest usefulness in the causes of humanity, freedom, and dignity of the individual; to encourage the highest and noblest form of manhood; and to aid downtrodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social, economic and intellectual status. Since 1974, the Iota Epsilon Chapter works diligently in engaging the Grand Valley and Grand Rapids community through community involvement and programming.
