EAST maryland Delta Lambda Chapter inaugurates Chapter Life Membership Program Delta Lambda Chapter has just begun a "Chapter Life Membership" program. The $500 membership fee is open only to Life Members of Alpha Phi Alpha, and is payable within three years. Funds for Life Memberships will be invested in the highest yielding securities, consistent with safety of principal and the goals of the chapter. Proceeds from investments will be used to fund the chapter's scholarship program. Six Brothers have already pledged, and begun payment on chapter Life Memberships. Three have completed payment of the full amount, becoming the first Delta Lambda Chapter Life Members, in addition to being Life Members of Alpha Phi Alpha. The program, adopted in January 1983, was proposed by Brother Wilbert L. Walker, Chapter President. Many of the chapter's twenty-five Life Members of Alpha are expected to join this program, as further evidence of their support of the goals of Alpha Phi Alpha. The Delta Lambda Chapter officers for 1982-83 are Brothers: Wilbert L. Walker, President; Clayton C. Stansbury, Vice President; Charles 'Tom" Mitchell, Corresponding Secretary; R. Grant Pinkett, Recording Secretary; Alton B. Cobb, Financial Secretary; William B. Proctor, Treasurer; James H. Wooten, Chaplain; Robert F. "Bobby" Brooks, Editor-to-the-Sphinx; Glendi E.
