Alpha Phi Alpha responded to the 2010 Haiti earthquake by sending a humanitarian delegation of Alpha men led by President Mason to Haiti on a fact-finding mission to assess the situation and develop a long-term support plan for the Haitian people . The organization views its future plan to ' adopt ' a school in Haiti as " a great opportunity for the first black intercollegiate fraternity to stand in solidarity with the first independent black Republic . " The fraternity protested the passage of Arizona Senate Bill 1070 which it believes may lead to racial profiling by relocating its 2010 national convention from Phoenix , Arizona to Las Vegas , Nevada . The bill makes it a misdemeanor state crime for an alien to be in Arizona without carrying legal documents , steps up state and local law enforcement of federal immigration laws , and cracks down on those sheltering , hiring and transporting illegal immigrants . The bill has been called the broadest and strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in decades . With global expansion as a platform , the fraternity chartered new chapters in the eastern hemisphere at the 2010 National Convention in Las Vegas , NV . The two new chapters are in London , England and Johannesburg , South Africa , further expanding the fraternity 's global footprint
