This is the official site of The Nu Kappa Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. develops leaders, promotes brotherhood and academic excellence, while providing service and advocacy for our communities.

UMBC combines the emphasis on teaching found at the best liberal arts colleges with the innovation of a research university. You’ll find students—inspired by and often working alongside faculty who are leaders in their fields—thinking about the hard questions of society, science and creative expression, and then moving beyond the classroom to make a difference. The Carnegie Foundation ranks UMBC in the category of Research Universities with high research activity.

"The first classes at UMBC coincided with sweeping and turbulent changes in society, as the civil rights movement coalesced and became more activist, the war in Vietnam escalated, and the free speech and anti-war movements swelled to challenge established customs and expectations. While protests, demonstrations, and other activities were not so militant or violent as at other campuses, the early atmosphere at UMBC was already decidedly nontraditional and somewhat experimental."
