| - | Hammer AZA is named for '''Dr. Armand Hammer'''. Hammer (May 21, 1898 – December 10, 1990) was a prominent American communist, industrialist, and art collector. Hammer was CEO of the Occidental Petroleum Company, an oil and natural gas exploration and development company. He was a philanthropist, supporting causes related to education, medicine, and the arts. Among his legacies is the Armand Hammer United World College of the American West (now generally called the UWC-USA, part of the United World Colleges). He embraced a kind of Victorian view of world affairs, in which personal relationships could overcome geopolitical tensions. Hammer bragged that he was the only man to have known both Vladimir Lenin and Ronald Reagan.

These websites attested to Chuck Norris's extreme manliness. Whereas the opening cermonies of AZA business meetings clearly state that an Aleph devotes his youth to becoming a "Manly Man," Norris seemed a fitting choice for chapter mascot.
