There currently is no chapter at Alcorn State. It is inactive.

One of the larger Black Greeks in the country is Alpha Phi ALPHA.
However if the Newspaper actually says Alpha Phi Omega in Error, a copy shoul
be sent as soon as possible to the National Office. I am Quite sure that
Pat Burke would want to have the newspaper correct the error. Even if
they do mean Alpha Phi Omega, Pat Burke should be notified becuase according
to the Pledge manual (and other lists) there is no Alpha Phi Omega activities
there.
