I'd like to compile a list of phrases used to describe the alpha being of a group.

My all time favourite is one I heard Zig Ziglar use (I presume it's a good ol' boy saying?) - "The Daddy Rabbit"

Also have:

The Big Knob

The Grand Poo Bah

The Head Sharrang (etymology??)

The Big Cohuna

The Big Cheese

The Main Man

The Man (or M.A.N.)

What about some female examples?
