Let Us Live So that We May Be Beacons Of Light
We are the brothers of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Phi Upsilon Chapter. Phi Upsilon Chapter is the first internationally recognized intercollegiate fraternity and the first African American Greek Letter Fraternity to be seated at the University of La Verne. Established on January 16, 2024 — one hundred and twenty-four years after the founding of our great Fraternity in 1906 and as the 888th house of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated — Phi Upsilon has upheld a legacy of excellence, scholarship, and leadership. The chapter continues to stand as a pillar of brotherhood and influence within Greek life, honoring the vision of our founders while forging new paths for the future.
