join in the praise and hold Alpha ever aloft. Their name, 'The Second Coming," was appropriate and has left a lasting impression on the Wofford College campus. The men who comprised this line were Lenny Best, Charles Davis, Delbert Means, John Hancock, Anthony Sallis, Robert Mickle and Emanuel Smith. Alpha is now on the move in Spartanburg and at Wofford. The chapter has several ongoing projects that provide service to all. Some of which are: a community tutorial program, a college Sunday School class, and a hospitality program for minority students on the college campus. In the past year, the chapter has provided rides to the polls during elections, sang at convalescent homes during the holidays and gave meals to the u n f o r t u n a t e for Thanksgiving. The chapter has made a name for itself and has done more in one year than some organizations do in five. Along with their Alpha Sweethearts and the graduate chapter in Spartanburg, Xi Theta Lambda, the Brothers of Omicron Chi have been doing the business of Alpha Phi Alpha.
florida Mu Zeta Lambda forms Male Chorus The Brothers of Mu Zeta Lambda has launched a new and very successful chapter venture. Under the direction of Brother Jack Johnson, we have formed an Alpha Male Chorus consisting of Brothers within our chapter who possess varying degrees of musical talent. We present musical concerts at churches throughout Polk County and give the audience a variety of music including sacred and gospel. Our featured soloist is Brother Lynwood Bell, who during his college days was a member of the much acclaimed Bethune Cookman College Concert Chorale. After rehearsals began we were also treated to a pleasant surprise in the person of Brother James Pratt, who besides possessing a great singing voice, has mastered a variety of musical instruments. These concerts are emceed by Brother Donzell Floyd, who during various breaks in song presentations gives those in attendance a complete overview of Alpha Phi Alpha ranging from Fraternity history to current Fraternity programs, and a brief introduction of each Brother The Sphinx / Summer 1983
The Alpha Male Chorus at Mu Zeta Lambda. (occupation, church affiliations, etc.). Our goal during each concert is to praise God collectively through song as well as impress the young men in attendance to the point of one day themselves striving to become Alpha men in their own right. At this time we would like to pay tribute to Brother William Starks, who soon will be departing this area due to career advancement. Brother Starks was initiated into Alpha at Beta Kappa Chapter, Langston University. Brother Starks arrived in this area at a very opportune time as there was no Alpha Chapter here. Realizing the need for Polk County to reap the benefits of this organization, Brother Starks was very instrumental in Mu Zeta Lambda becoming chartered. Since the inception of this chapter, October 7, 1975, Brother Starks has held several offices including a two-year term as chapter President, so we realize we are losing a great deal of Alpha experience but we also realize that as Alphamen we must continually reach for the highest levels of achievement so in this vein we applaud Brother Starks and know that when he arrives at his new destination (Atlanta, Ga.) he will have an immediate impact on Eta Lambda Chapter there. Until next issue . . .
