Zeta Lambda Chapter Booms With Activity NEWPORT NEWS, V a - T h e praises of the many great men o# our fraternity are often sung but little notice is given the progress of the various chapters which are responsible for the successful continuance of those principles which have made Alpha Phi Alpha what it is today. Zeta Lambda is a graduate chapter. composed of brothers who represent many cities by virtue of their birth, many colleges and universities by their training, and a wealth of knowledge and experience acquired in the use of their skills and techniques in their respective occupations and professions. In the true spirit of Alpha, and in keeping with our national program we have sought to get many citizens of our city qualified to vote. It is our desire that the results of our efforts will reflect favorably in the coming councilmanic election to which Brother W. Hale Thompson is a candidate subject to the April Primary. At the General Convention we were represented by Brother O. H. Smith who vowed to never miss another Alpha Convention. On March 10th three new brothers were added to the fold: John T . Brown, Instructor, Huntington High School, Daniel L. Jordon, Spedial Agent of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and William T. Boykins, manager of the Harbor Homes Housing Development. Our thanks to the Brothers of Gamma Iota Chapter of Hampton Institute, Beta Delta Lambda of Hampton, and to Brother D e i JÂŁ C. Fentress of Alpha 1'hi Lambda, Norfolk, the Regional Director'of Eastern Division, who assisted us. On Sunday following the initiation a banquet was held in the Laurel Room, Cosmos Inn with J. Rupert Picott, Eastern Vice-President of the fraternity and Executive Secretary of the Virginia Teachers Association, as guest speaker for the occasion. Zeta Lambda Chapter was entertained with a Pie-Valentine Party by the Alpha wives in the Yacht Room of the Dochiki Club on February 12th. This was truly a treat to be long remembered. Plans are being made for the observance of Education for Citizenship Week, April 23rd to 30th. Brother Noel Pleasants is program chairman. To climax our social events for the year, we are planning a Black and White Ball in the late Spring. RONALD H. PRIDE Editor-to-the-Sphinx MAY,
