GGL Brothers gather with 5,300 Brothers in Philly for Alpha Phi Alpha's 98th Anniversary General Convention

In Philadelphia, Brothers Weston and Clark served as Delegates at the 98th Anniversary Convention from July 16-20, 2025. More than 5,300 brothers gather at the Philadelphia Convention Center to conduct business and celebrate fellowship with brothers across the nation. 

Several issues for discussion include changes in IMDP, Grand Tax and Life Membership and other important items.

This is the first convention of new brother Lucien Mettalus, who was installed as General President in January 2025.  It also marks the end of the term for Southern Regional Vice President Cecil Howard and Assistant Regional Vice President Jeremy Carter. 

Southern's newly elected Leadership is now Brother Matthew S. Bradford,  Southern Regional Vice President and Brother Devonte D. Rolle, Southern Regional Assistant Vice President. As part of the leadership team, GGL's own Bro. Don R. Weston was named Executive Director, Southern Region.
