An Alpha Phi Alpha man’s attitude should not be “How much can I derive from the Fraternity,” but “How much can I do for the Fraternity?” In proportion to what he does for his Chapter and Alpha Phi Alpha, a member will receive lasting benefits from the Fraternity himself in the way of self-development by duty well done, and the respect of the Brothers well served.

A member’s duties should be:

​

1. Prompt payment of all financial obligations is the prime requisite for a successful fraternal life.

2. The doing of good scholastic work in his chosen vocation, thereby accomplishing the real end of a college course.

3. The reasonable endeavor to participate in general college activities and social service and to excel therein.

4. The proper consideration of all things with appropriate attention to the high moral standard of Alpha Phi Alpha.
