Ralph Fong was one of the fraternity’s most distinguished alumni. After serving his country during World War II, he carved out a successful career in engineering which took him to places around the globe.

Ralph was among the initial bondholders who provided funds for the purchase of the Alpha chapter house. He also was one of the initial members of the Alumni Association Board of Directors, serving several terms over the course of 30 years. Most recently, he served as a workshop panelist at fraternity’s 2008 National Convention.

Friends and family are invited to the Sunset View Mortuary Chapel, top of Fairmount Avenue, in El Cerrito, California for a viewing Friday, July 30th from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and a Memorial Service, Saturday, July 31st at 2:00 p.m.

Dear Brothers,

I’d like to take the time to introduce myself as your 2009-2010 National Treasurer as well as the rest of the executive board and appointed cabinet for this upcoming academic year. I also look forward to working with your Presidents as well as other officers. Some of the things that I would like to focus on this year would be develop a well established relationship national leaderhship and chapters.

We are slowly gathering the right people and developing committees for the different areas we are focusing on. As I said before many times, your national leadership is here to serve you and we wouldn’t exist without our chapters located across the US. Last year, many new ideas, concepts and programs were formulated and discussed. This year is the time to execute and put everything into action.

I would like to encourage all of you (undergraduate or alumni) to participate in helping out national leadership this year by either serving as a Chair position or committee. Please join me in congratulating your 2009-2010 Executive Board as well as Appointed Cabinet. If you have any questions or concerns during the upcoming year, please feel free to contact myself our any of us on Nationals.
