ohio The brothers of Delta Alpha Lambda celebrated a successful year at their annual dinner-dance on June 11,1977. The chapter has a record enrollment in life-memberships and many brothers have been cited during the year for their outstanding accomplishments in various business and professional fields. The Women's Auxiliary has been very active and supportive. The Pride Program sponsored by the chapter has had significant influence in developing pride among junior and senior high school students. All of which adds up to one of Delta Alpha Lambda's best years.
We have also experienced great sadness during the year as some of our beloved brothers have been called into Omega chapter. Most recent of these were Brother Dr. Hatcher Day, Sr., July 22, 1977, and Brother Benjamin Haynes, August 22, 1977.
