Nu Alpha Phi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ΝΑΦ (Nu Alpha Phi[1] ) (also NAPhi, Nappees) an Asian-Interest fraternity. Is an Asian-interest fraternity that works to promote Asian culture while integrating members with their surrounding communities. Their stated goal is to improve their surrounding environment through community service and other philanthropic activities. Past efforts have included charity walks, donation drives, voter registration, and soup kitchens.
At the same time, they promote brotherhood through events such as alumni networking, job banks, sports competitions, road trips, and parties. Nu Alpha Phi is an active member in the local social scene. Our establishments can be seen anywhere from acting in school shows to holding mixers, and from hosting on-campus events to throwing parties! Nu Alpha Phi members assert that they are an eclectic group, with members from all walks of life, while some critics have doubted the legitimacy of such an assertion given that the central premise of the fraternity is the inclusion of members from a single ethnic group.
The Nu Alpha Phi Fraternity was founded on March 18th, 1994. The fraternity professes to create a bond of brotherhood passed down from generation to generation, including lasting relationships between alumni and currently active members. Nu Alpha Phi's expansion has resulted in the existence of four chapters and several colonies and continued growth is projected for the future. The purpose of the founding members of Nu Alpha Phi is to create a "beacon to the Asian-American community" through a lasting bond of brotherhood and unity.

Nu Alpha Phi at the Claremont Colleges The organization described in this article is not to be confused with the Nu Alpha Phi of the Claremont Colleges (specifically Pomona College). The Pomona "Nappies" began as an all-male fraternity in the 1920's, but became co-ed in the 1970's. The Nu Alpha Phi of the Claremont Colleges is an informal co-ed "frarority" modeled loosely on the traditional college fraternity or sorority. Its members endeavor to build unity and friendship within the community through a combination of social events and community service.
