Read about how Alpha Phi Alpha, a prominent Black fraternity, moved to ban transgender members, and what that means.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., the nation's oldest historically Black intercollegiate Greek letter fraternity, is reportedly considering a ban on transgender members. If the proposal continues to advance, it’s believed Alpha would be the second Black fraternity to institute such a ban, following Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.
In its reporting, GLAAD noted that interviews with Alpha members suggested a generational divide, with leadership who tended to be older and more conservative, and the general body can skew younger and more progressive. David Johns, CEO and executive director of the Black LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, National Black Justice Coalition, called proposals like this one contradictory to founding goals of Black fraternities.
