History

of the Morris Brown College National Alumni Association

In a very humble beginning, the Morris Brown College National Alumni Association was organized in 1902. This organization has grown through the past one-hundred & Eighteen years and TODAY is a very strong supportive arm of our 139 year Old AME-HBCU institution. The Association is committed to help provide moral and financial support to the college.

The purposes of the Association are to promote the best interest for Morris Brown College toward the continuous attainment of its mission to promote good relations between the Alumni and the College; to aid the recruitment of academically talented students for entrance to the college; to generate funds for the use and benefit of the college and organize and mobilize the collective strength of the alumni towards, generating financial support and any other way that will be beneficial to its growth.

During 2018, the NAA partnered with the MBC Alumni Focus Group in accomplishing the “Repair & Replace” the Administration Buildings’ Roof, the interior painting of this building, the purchase of new A/C Units on this building and the successful MBC-Car-Give-A-Way drawing. This drawing was conducted on Homecoming Day ‘2016. The proud winner was Alumnus Ronald Mellix, Jr., ’07, Loyal Marching Wolverine.

We now have multiple active Chapters. They include: Athens, Atlanta, Carolinas (NC/SC), Chicagoland, Columbus/Phenix City, Dekalb, Detroit, DMV Chapter, Jacksonville, LA Chapter, Memphis, Miami, Philadelphia, South Metro Chapter, and the Tri-State Chapter. You can join us TODAY. You also have 3 different membership levels that you can take advantage of to support our historic organization and school. We have the Life at $500, Purple at $750, or Purple & Black at $1,000.

Alumni Creed

As an alumnus and friend of Morris Brown College, I will at all times and in all places, strive to promote the good name and reputation of such an outstanding institution. With dignity, I will demonstrate in my character and deportment, an air of pride that will be noticeable and respected. With compassion, I will take advantage of every opportunity to speak on her behalf, and assist in any way possible with the efforts of the school, in the recruitment of good students, in locating financial resources, and by making myself available for tasks I am called upon to perform.

As a member of this alumni organization, I will make efforts on a continuing basis, to attract other well-meaning alumni and friends of Morris Brown College, to join our attempts to assure her a long life of success, and achievement for her sons and daughters.

Alumni Prayer

Oh Lord, we beseech Thee to give us that due sense of love, reverence, and respect for our Alma Mater, Morris Brown College. We ask that Thou will give us the will to represent her, displaying the highest degree of personal integrity, and with a level of deportment that will show forth these morals and virtues she has taught and stood for, for so many years.

We ask that Thou will continue to let your light so shine on her, that she may continue as a lively center for sound learning, new discovery, and the pursuit of wisdom. And grant that those who teach there, and those who learn there, may find you to be the source of all truth. Bless the President, the Staff and Faculty that they may be good leaders, and set right examples for academic excellence and outstanding achievement.

Endow us all with an inalienable sense of gratitude, for we know from whence cometh all our blessings. In Christ, Amen.

John Goodlett - 1962

Alma Mater

Alma Mater,

pride of earth,
Gav’st to me another birth,

Haven for all hungry souls,

Feeding them shall be Thy goal,

Ever let thy banner be,

Emblem of the brave and free,

A welcome true to everyone,

Until Thy work is done.

Hail to Thee, maker of men,

Honor to Thee once again,

Sacred truths on firmest ground,

Hail to Thee, Dear Morris Brown.

To her precepts praise accord,

To them may we e’er be bound,

And bow and thank the gracious Lord,

For dear ol’ Morris Brown.
