Representatives from the three largest African American fraternities call for more mentors for minority youth

Big Brothers Big Sisters has formed a collaborative partnership with Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi, three of the nation’s three largest African American fraternities in the country. The partnership’s purpose is to encourage more African American volunteers to step up to mentor more African American children, particularly males.

Joining Big Brothers Big Sisters for this important announcement on the steps of City Hall were former Spur Bruce Bowen, State Representative Ruth Jones McClendon, City Councilor Ivy Taylor, former City Councilor Art Hall as well as representatives from the Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi fraternities.

February is Black History Month and all four organizations are eager to launch the partnership during a time that coincides with a celebration of the African American culture.

The event was covered by the local media, and KSAT-12 filed a report which can be viewed here.
