Happy Founder's Day: 30 of the Hottest Alpha Phi Alpha Men
Happy Founder’s Day! 30 Of The Hottest Ice-Cold Brothers Of Alpha Phi Alpha - Page 20
The first — and the FINEST.
Founded on this day in 1906 at Cornell University, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was created to uplift and empower Black men through scholarship, leadership, and service. The excellence has always come wrapped in a very particular kind of presence. There’s something about an Alpha — quarter zips on the yard, smartly dressed in the streets, beautifully tailored on the red carpet — that just makes us “ooh” and “ahh” at them.
For more than a century, these Ice-Cold brothers have shaped culture, led movements, and done it all while looking like the camera chose them. From viral husbands to Hollywood heavyweights to everyday brothers who refuse to take a bad photo, here are 30 of the hottest Alphas doing what they do best: leading, shining, and looking good while doing it.

1. Omari Hardwick
Before Omari Hardwick was breaking hearts and bending moral codes as Ghost on Power, he was a young Alpha man, joining the fraternity in 1996. His rise in Hollywood, from poetry slams to starring in one of the most talked-about series of the last decade, feels like the natural evolution of a brother who’s always carried purpose.
3. Christian Keyes
Christian Keyes has made his mark in Black Hollywood, starring in Saints & Sinners, Let’s Stay Together, and the BET+ hit All the Queen’s Men—which is based on his own novel. Before the lights and cameras, Keyes became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, repping the fraternity with the same confidence and charisma he brings to every role.
9. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
From The Get Down to Watchmen, Candyman, Aquaman, and The Matrix Resurrections, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has become one of Hollywood’s most compelling talents. He brings depth, vulnerability, and unmistakable presence — and he reps Alpha with pride.
