The first letter of the Greek alphabet, used to denote the first or foremost item of a set, for example by biologists to refer to the highest ranking in a social group of animals. More recently, out of the MRA cesspool leaked a travesty of this concept, applying it to (exclusively male) humans. Used by overgrown boys to refer to themselves, as apposed to everybody else being a beta, a cuck, or a peasant. Fancy themselves kings of the world because they got laid once, or at least claim to have been. Completely fall apart the second someone questions their weak charade of masculinity. Sure sign of an infantile dipshit and/or massive douche.
I was like, I am the alpha male I get to fuck all the bitches, and you are just a weak beta cuck. Anyway, the dentist said it will take two or three more sessions to fix this.

n. the leader of a given fraternity. Usually seen in the frat picture wearing Lacoste shorts and shirt with a Ralph Lauren sports coat, Gucci sunglasses, and holding a cat. He is usually sweet as fuck.

when one shows mega dominance over others, and appears more powerful than may meet the eye. alpha's tend to be arrogant, however everyone wants to be the alpha!

He is such an amazing person. He helps out the people he truly loves the most. Everyone loves him and enjoys talking to him. Even if its his personality or his looks, this man is so so perfect in every way. I’m sure that all his friends are glad to have him. This man had the kindest heart and deserves the world.

Alpha Phi Alpha is the first intercollegiate fraternity established by African Americans. Founded on December 4, 1906, on the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, as a social fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha has initiated over 175,000 men into the organization and has been open to men of all races since 1945. The fraternity utilizes motifs and artifacts from Ancient Egypt to represent the organization and preserves its archives at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center.
The founders, Henry Callis, Charles Chapman, Eugene Jones, George Kelley, Nathaniel Murray, Robert Ogle, and Vertner Tandy, are collectively known as the "Seven Jewels". The fraternity expanded when a second chapter was chartered at Howard University in 1907. Beginning in 1908, Alpha Phi Alpha became the prototype for other Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLO). Today, there are over 680 active Alpha chapters in the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, the West Indies, and the Virgin Islands.
Alpha Phi Alpha evolved into a primarily service organization and has provided leadership and service during the Great Depression, World Wars, Civil Rights Movements, and addresses social issues such as apartheid, AIDS, urban housing, and other economic, cultural, and political issues affecting people of color. The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is a project of Alpha Phi Alpha and the fraternity jointly leads philanthropic programming initiatives with March of Dimes, Head Start, Boy Scouts of America and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
Members of Alpha Phi Alpha include Jamaican Prime Minister and Rhodes Scholar Norman Manley, Nobel Prize winner Martin Luther King, Jr., U.S. Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Olympian Jesse Owens, Justice Thurgood Marshall, United Nations Ambassador Andrew Young, and Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson. Numerous other American leaders are among the men who have adopted the fraternity’s principles—manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind.
