H.R. No. 248 is a resolution recognizing March 4, 2025, as Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Day at the Texas State Capitol. The resolution celebrates the fraternity's rich history, which began at Cornell University in 1906 as the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established by African Americans. Founded by seven men known as the "Jewels," Alpha Phi Alpha initially served as a support group for minority students facing racial prejudice. Over the years, the fraternity has expanded its mission to address various social injustices and has produced numerous prominent civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall.

The resolution highlights Alpha Phi Alpha's commitment to scholarship, fellowship, and community service, emphasizing its longstanding tradition of activism and achievement. It acknowledges the fraternity's evolution into an interracial organization since 1945 and its significant presence in Texas, where many influential leaders have been members. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its best wishes to the fraternity and prepares an official copy of the resolution as a gesture of high regard.
