Our Motto is By Culture and by Merit. The Purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha is to cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards, to promote unity and friendship among college women, to study and help alleviate problems concerning girls and women in order to improve their social stature, to maintain a progressive interest in college life and to be of service to all mankind. Salmon Pink and Apple Green are the official colors of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Alpha Kappa Alpha is one of nine Black Greek Letter Organizations in the National Pan Hellenic Council, whose organizations are affectionately called the "Divine Nine."



The Gamma Zeta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha was chartered in November 1947 as a New Jersey City-wide chapter, but currently encompasses just the campuses of Rutgers University-Newark, and New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. is the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York on December 4, 1906 by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of Brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The visionary founders, known as the “Jewels” of the Fraternity, are Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy.

The Fraternity initially served as a study and support group for minority students who faced racial prejudice, both educationally and socially, at Cornell. The Jewel founders and early leaders of the Fraternity succeeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha’s principles of scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of humanity.

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. True to its form as the “first of firsts,”

The Iota Rho chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was founded at its chapter seat Newark College of Engineering in Newark New Jersey (currently New Jersey Institute of Technology – NJIT) on May 23, 1974 by thirteen strong and ambitious black men. The chapter however was founded with the vision of serving all schools with low minority populations in the Northern NJ area. Thus the founding line contained students from various schools within Essex County.

The 413th chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. was encouraged by the then director of the Educational Opportunity Program, Brother Melvin Thompson. The founding line affectionately known as “The Super Mean Thirteen” was hand selected by Brother Melvin Thompson and E.O.P. counselor Brother Clinton Dozier.

From its humble beginnings in the year of 1974, to its continued excellence into the new millennium, The Iota Rho Chapter holds a firm tradition to lead, serve and distinguish young college brothers through academics, and fellowship.

Mission
February 1969: The Black Organization of Students staged a “Locked Down” of Conklin Hall at Rutgers University - Newark for 72 hours and threw a banner over the front of the building which read “Liberation Hall”. They demanded that the Rutgers’ Board of Governors and the President increase the amount of Black students accepted into the University. At that time, 2% of the Newark Campus’s student body was African-American while 75% of Newark Public School System student’s were African-American.

Faced with this inequity, the members of BOS led the largest student movement by any racial group ever before seen at any of Rutgers University’s three campuses. Their actions led to the creation of the Educational Opportunity Fund Program at Rutgers Newark which, in turn, increased enrollment of African-Americans University-wide. Rutgers University – Newark currently has held the title for the ‘Most Diverse University in America’ for 11 Years (US News & World Report).

The Historic Black Organization of Students is an organization dedicated to serving the African Diaspora community at the University and in Newark through advocacy, community service, and a wide range of student-led programs.

The Hindu civilization has an unbroken chain of several thousands of years of history, culture, and heritage. The Hindu thought is a knowledge base that has been collected since the ancient Vedic period and is timeless and applicable to all of humanity. Despite its huge following, rich history, and numerous contributions to the human race, the Hindu way of life, or Sanatan Dharma, is perhaps the least understood among the major religions today.

One out of every six people follows what is broadly termed the Hindu way of life, encompassing religion, culture, and heritage. YUVA stands for Youth for Unity, Virtues, and Action, but it also means youth in Sanskrit. It conveys our vision and mission in a succinct manner. Hindu YUVA is about giving an immersive and experiential exposure to the Hindu way of life to the campus community in a friendly and positive atmosphere. We encourage maintaining a Hindu cultural identity in harmony with the larger community.

The mission of The Hindu YUVA at Rutgers University-Newark is to bring the Hindu student community together, spread the message of oneness, and explain the importance of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (The world as one family). As Hinduism is one of the largest and oldest religions in the world, we believe that this main message of oneness and equality should be spread throughout the Rutgers-Newark community. We hope to create a young generation that is strong and united. We would like to create a stronger youth power by providing students with virtues. We would like to create a robust Hindu presence and voice at Rutgers University-Newark by bringing students and different like-minded organizations together. Hindu YUVA will act as a bridge between the Hindu students and the administration, and the Hindu community outside Rutgers University Newark.

We believe that our mission coincides with Rutgers-Newark’s commitment to making diversity a way of university life where all members of our community feel welcome, valued, and respected. Hindu YUVA will provide a safe space for people who identify as Hindu to practice Sanatan Dharma and speak their minds. Also, it will be a medium and an outlet for spreading awareness about Hinduism to those who want to learn more about it. Rutgers-Newark students, faculty, and visitors will find resources here to learn about Hinduism and its challenges. While also connecting with peers and receiving support from like-minded individuals.

Our activities put a lot of emphasis on team building, leadership qualities, and character development. The idea is not to merely organize events but to be the agents of change by developing essential personality traits such as physical and intellectual abilities, interpersonal skills, leading by example, and developing empathy for others regardless of background.

Young Hindu Americans carry a great deal of responsibility to share this culture, preserve its meaning, and practice its universal values as the inheritors of this way of life. Hindu YUVA derives its inspiration from this ancient knowledge and understands the mammoth task lying in front of the young Hindu Americans. Hindu YUVA aims to provide a platform to preserve, practice, promote, and protect Hindu Dharma by bringing together Hindu college students and young professionals across the United States.
