The Bro. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration was a program NU NU put together
in order to celebrate 
the birthday of the great Bro. Martin Luther King Jr. The
brothers invited Del. Arley Ray Johnson to speak on the importance of scholarship
and high goals and to also reenact one of Bro. King's speeches. NU NU also
commemorated the occasion with a seven candle light ceremony to represent
the accomplishments of Bro. King and to pay tribute to our founding fathers.
In fall of '96 NU NU established the Bro. Clyde Perry Academic
Scholarship, this award was established in order to recognize a deserving
student who expressed academic and leadership qualities at Marshall. In
an effort to provide Greek activities during homecoming '96, NUtorious NU
NU presented Homecoming Stompfest '96. This was the first African-American
Greek stepshow during homecoming weekend in the past 3 years. NU NU decided
that in order to have an all Greek stepshow it would be up to us to provide
it. Our efforts to promote Greek resulted in our first annual 5 on 5 Basketball
Tournament, this tournament included black and predominately white fraternities
and provided a sense of unity and basic fun among Greek organizations. Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and B.U.S. (Black United Students) presented
a joint Scholarship Fund Dance which was the stepping stone for our Bro.
Clyde Perry Academic Scholarship.
Beyond our programs and activities NUtorious NU NU has also participated
in Junior Achievement at Beverly Hills Middle School, volunteered with Big
Brothers, Big Sisters, a national program of ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY,
INC., and provided tutoring and sponsorship of little league basketball
teams at Scotts Community Center. NU NU chapter was also recognized as the
Greek fraternity with the highest G.P.A. for fall semester at Marshall University.
In order to inform the student population of activities and achievements of NUtorious NU NU and to also express certain opinions that the brothers may have we began the publication of the NU NU Chapter Newsletter in Spring '97. The publication has been successful and allows us to reach out to the student population in a large scale manner.
As brothers of the NUtorious NU NU Chapter we continually strive to stay true to principles and objectives of ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY, INC., the first intercollegiate Greek letter fraternity established for African-American men, which are scholarship, fellowship, good character and love for all mankind.
