Street Fraternity

Zeta Alpha Alpha….“A Warrior Brotherhood”

Mission & Program

The Street Fraternity’s mission is to provide a place of brotherhood and programs for personal growth for violent young men.  We are a brotherhood of excellence, learning and respect.  Each young man builds and achieves his Personal Life Plan, which includes selecting a primary Warrior Tradition.  Each apprentice and member respects all women, and practices mastering their aggressive self and growing their meditative/calm self.  All program elements are developed and led by fraternity members, with the assistance of adult leaders who have been successfully violent in their past (e.g. former combat vets, violent sport athletes, etc.).  We are proud to be co-located and partnering with the Disabled American Veterans, Clyde Seiler Chapter 21.  We also partner with a wide range of nonprofit and government support services.
