Chapter Bio: Alpha Tau Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated was established at the University of Akron on May 9, 1925. Our founding was shaped by the visionary leadership of four trailblazing men Norman L. McGhee, S. Paul Berry, Elmer J. Cheeks, and Emmer Martin Lancaster. Their commitment to scholarship, leadership, and service laid the foundation for a legacy that continues to thrive a century later. Since our chartering, Alpha Tau has remained an active and influential force on campus. Our chapter is a beacon of excellence, resilience, and brotherhood, with a long-standing tradition of empowering young men to lead with integrity and purpose not just during their time at the University of Akron, but far beyond it. We invite you to learn more about our historic chapter, our brotherhood, and our unwavering commitment to scholarship, service, and leadership. Stay connected with us through our social media platforms or reach out directly. We look forward to building with you.
