Members of Shreveport’s Delta Upsilon Lambda Graduate Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. are taking their community service to a new level with a unique event – the 2008 ICE Bowl.
The ICE BOWL is a football game between members of the fraternity. Each player will raise money to help fund the chapter’s community service projects. Members plan to provide mentorships, leadership workshops and job seminars at local schools using funds raised at the event.
The ICE BOWL will be on Saturday, February 23, 2008 at Booker T. Washington High School’s stadium located at 2104 Milam Street at 2:06pm.
“The overall plight is to help improve children’s education through our involvement in community enhancement.” said Charlie Sanders, ICE Bowl Chairman.
Featured half-time entertainment will be provided by the Woodlawn High School Marching Band. Stand music will also be provided by the Southwood High School Pep Band.
Fraternity History
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for black college students, was organized at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY on December 4, 1906. Its seven founders, referred by brothers as “Jewels”, envisioned an organization that unified men of color and maintained a close association and support for its members.
Men who possess principals of good character, sound scholarship, fellowship and a desire to uplift humanity in the world are the makeup of Alpha Phi Alpha’s members.
The fraternity integrated its racial membership in 1945 and has grown to more than 700 chapters located in the U.S., Caribbean Islands, Africa, Asia, Europe and the West Indies.
