Since its founding on December 4, 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has supplied voice and vision to the struggle of African-Americans and people of color around the world.
Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African-Americans, was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of Brotherhood among African descendants in this country. While continuing to stress academic excellence among its members, Alpha also recognized the need to help correct the educational, economic, political, and social injustices faced by African-Americans.
Alpha Phi Alpha has long stood at the forefront of the African-American community's fight for civil rights through leaders such as: W.E.B. DuBois, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Edward Brooke, Martin Luther King, Jr., Thurgood Marshall, Andrew Young, William Gray, Paul Robeson, and many others.

At the inception of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in 1913 at Howard University, the 22 founders envisioned an organization of college women pledged to serious endeavor and community service. The youthful students demonstrated a vital concern for social welfare, academic excellence, cultural enrichment and de-emphasized the social side of sorority life. Their ideas of scholarship and service have withstood the test of time; and today Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is a public service sorority dedicated to a program of sharing membership skills and organizational services in the public interest.
The Indian Students Association is a non-profit organization for all the students from India. Our objectives are to promote service and leadership opportunities.

Student-student and student-community interactions are also highly encouraged.
Kappa Alpha Psi was founded on the campus of Indiana University on January 5, 1911. The Fraternity's fundamental purpose is achievement.
Early in this century, African-American students were actively dissuaded from attending college. Formidable obstacles were erected to prevent the few who were enrolled from assimilating into co-curricular campus life. This ostracism characterized Indiana University in 1911, thus causing Elder W. Diggs, Byron K. Armstrong, and eight other black students to form Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, which remains the only Greek letter organization with its 1st Chapter on the University's campus.
The founders sought a formula that would immediately raise the sights of black collegians and stimulate them to accomplishments higher than they might have imagined.
Fashioning achievement as it's purpose, Kappa Alpha Psi began uniting college men of culture, patriotism and honor in a bond of fraternity.
Bradley University Muslim Student Association consists of a group of students both undergraduate and graduate, and community members. The group has two main focuses: to serve Muslims on campus and to promote awareness of issues related to Islam. Our MSA tries to provide a means by which Muslim students maintain and increase their faith in a college environment; it is also a tool by which non-Muslims on campus may learn about Islam and its beauty.
