KAPPA LAMBDA CHAPTER. BROTHERS IN ALPHA P H I

Greetings: The closing days of the school year find Kappa Lambda chapter hitting on all six cylinders, and the entire chapter machinery working in perfect harmony. As this year is about n> pass inl I history, we can look with satisfaction up n the days that have gone by. We had signal success in our recent Go-to-High School, Go-to-College campaign. We found hearty response to our appeal and manv commendatory remarks have been cited as an echo to the campaign which we wage throughout the state. Dr. Frank Trigg, President of Bennett College in a letter to the secretary of the chapter says. "Alpha Phi Alpha can have no greater mission than that of fostering school continuance of Negro boys and girls." At the last meeting of the chapter, we had our spring initiation, and three men were added to the roll of Alpha Phi Alpha. Professor I. W. Tavlor and C. H. Parker, and Doctor J. E: Geary were the neophytes. These are men who have accomplished something in life, and we feel that they will be an utility to our fraternity. On May 28th and 29th, Brother A. H. Johnson conducted a chorus of 8f>0 voices in the Annual May Music Festival of Winston-Salem. Brother R. E. Mizcll has been notified of his having passed the New York bar examinations. We shall miss him and feel his loss keenly, since he plans to return to New York Citv to practice. Brother J. B. Matt he ws was faculty manager of
21
the first annual published by a Negro School in North Carolina. Brother F. L. Merry, the librarian of Slater School, has added over 800 volumes to the library this year. He now administers one of the best school libraries in the state. A picture of the chapter was taken at the close of our monster culmination meeting during Go-to-High School, Go-to-College Week. The photographer seems to have had an accident, because we haven't seen anything that looks like a picture. Because of this, the brothers must continue to conjecture as to what the brothers of Kappa Lambda look like until sometime in December in New York. We hope to be there strong. Fraternally urs (

ALPHA,
Greetings: Xi Lambda Chapter, the graduate cnapter authorized by the iast convention, the seat of which is to be Chicago and vicinity, was set up at a banquet given at the Ideal Tea Room in this city, Friday evening, May 86th, 1984. The following brothers were taken in as charter members: Brothers Wm. M. Tate, W. S. Grant. II. A. Callis, L. A. Mahone, Lloyd A. Hall. F. V. Plummer. E. W. Beasley, Julius C. Greene, Henry Tiarr.mel, H. Reginald Smith, Louis R. Middleton, William H. Benson, Oscar Randall, William L. Dawson, Julian A. Lewis, C. A. McCoy, J. Mayo Williams, T. A. Boger, N. A. Thorne, S. H. Rosenberg, and Roscoe C. Giles. The new chapter was set up by Brothers Charles Greer, Homer Cooper 'and Nelson Glover. Our exa.ted honorary Brother Dr. George C. Hall acted as toastmaster. We are hoping that the creation of this new graduate chapter in the city of Chicago to work in cooperation with the undergraduate chapter (Theta) will be the means of reviving the old Alpha spirit around Chicago, and bringing back to active participation in fraternity affairs all of those brothers who because of new and added responsibilities after graduation had drifted away from the fraternity. It is the hope of Xi Lambda to really put Alpha Phi Alpha back in its rightful place of first and foremost anions fraternities in the city of Chicago. We .iic forming a definite program which takes in community work, creation of scholarships, social activities, and others forms of work that will make the chapter felt as one of the forces for good in the C< lr.munity. Now that the new chapter is a success and has a definite program that is being carried out, we anticipate a membership of at least one hundred men in the very new future. The chapter has inaugurated the practice of having two brothers entertain the chapter at each of its monthly meetings. This has proved one of the surest ways of getting good attendance at meetings. 'flu- chapter was entertained at its July meeting by Brothers William H. Benson and Fdward W. Bensley at the fraternity house, 4104 Vineennes Avenue. Smokes and eats were served and enjoyed by all. This meeting was a very enthusiastic uue and well attended. Ten old Alpha Phi Alpha men who for different reasons had become inactive, renewed their allegiance and became active in the new chapter. At our August meeting the chapter was entertained by a banquet at the beautiful home of Dr. H. Reginald Smith, 3727 Grand Boulevard. Mrs. Smith proved a most charming hostess. Every brother present was unanimous in pronouncing the affair a
