Bro. Marcus A. LeBouef's landmark Title Sponsorship opens the door for every Alpha Man to cement his name alongside the most legendary brothers ever to grace the black and gold.
When a 1924 charter document bearing the signatures of thirteen trailblazing young men resurfaced after decades of obscurity, it demanded something more than a filing cabinet. It demanded a champion. It found one in Bro. Marcus A. LeBouef.
In a moment that will be remembered alongside the most consequential acts of chapter stewardship in Alpha Rho's storied century of existence, LeBouef has stepped forward as the Title Sponsor of the Alpha Rho Chapter Collection at The Atlanta University Robert W. Woodruff Library Archives Research Center — making him the benchmark-setting donor for a three-week fundraise now underway to provide world-class exhibit staging for the chapter's irreplaceable artifacts.
His gift is not simply a financial contribution. It is a declaration: that the legacy of Alpha Rho — of every man who has ever worn the black and gold at Morehouse College — is worth protecting with the same seriousness and dignity that the world's great archives reserve for civilization's most precious documents.
The Collection
In July 2025, APCAA announced the extraordinary rediscovery and return of the original charter document establishing the Alpha Rho Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. at Morehouse College. Signed by all thirteen charter members, the document is not merely a relic — it is the founding covenant of a brotherhood that has produced some of the most consequential minds, leaders, and servants of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Alongside this crown jewel, APCAA's growing collection of Alpha Rho artifacts represents a living record of the chapter's first century — one that, until now, has not had a home worthy of what it holds.
The Man Who Led the Way
Based in Chicago, LeBouef reflected on his decision with the clarity of a man who knows exactly what Alpha Rho has meant to his life.
He continued, expressing a hope that speaks to the intergenerational power of Alpha brotherhood: that this sponsorship is his way of ensuring the legacy of the chapter is preserved for all future generations of Morehouse Men — "hopefully including my own son in the next 12 or so years."
In that single sentence, LeBouef captures the full weight of what APCAA is building. This is not a monument to the past. It is an inheritance, deliberately prepared for sons and brothers not yet born.
The Call
LeBouef's Title Sponsorship establishes a donor benchmark — and now APCAA is calling upon the brotherhood to assemble the Presenting Sponsors who will stand beside him in the archives forever.
Brothers of Alpha Rho. Men of the broader Alpha Phi Alpha family. Those who revere this legacy and understand what it means for a 1924 charter document to be housed under professional lighting, behind secure glass, with your name engraved alongside it — this is your moment.
This is more than a sponsorship. This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cement your own historical mark alongside some of the most legendary Alpha Men ever to grace this earth.
