Moot Court Team. The team won the Midwest regional competition and placed eighth in national competition in Washington, D.C. Brother Hall, Life Member #4999, was initiated into Alpha at Alpha Mu Chapter, Northwestern University, and is currently a member of Iota Delta Lambda Chapter of Chicago.

Brother TYRONE G. HART is one of quite a few unsung Alpha men who continue to live up to the lofty ideals of Alpha Phi Alpha. Brother Hart currently serves as Unit Manager for the Bankers Life Insurance Company's Washington, D.C. Metro Office. He is the youngest such manager ever selected by the insurance company in its 105-year history. For the past six years, Brother Hart has also served on the faculty of Montgomery College, Takoma Park Campus, in order to aid in the smooth, academic and athletic transition of Black Athletes, as a gesture of giving to them some of the benefits he derived from the sport. Tyrone Hart is a former high school basketball Ail-American from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was made at Beta Chapter, Howard University, in the spring of 1974. During his tenure as an undergraduate, Brother Hart became one of the first Beta Chapter undergraduate Life Members of A-Phi-A. Also during his undergraduate years, Brother Hart played for four years on Howard University's Varsity Basketball Team, serving as team co-captain during his third and fourth years. In June, 1976, Brother Hart graduated with a B.A. degree in Business and with AFROTC Distinguished Honors from Howard University. Following graduation, Brother Hart served for a brief period of time as an officer in the U.S. Air Force. Shortly thereafter, in July 1977, he became an Insurance Agent for the Bankers Life Insurance Company. In his first year on the job, he became the D.C. Metro Agent of the Year for 1977 and Rookie of the Year. He accomplished these feats by selling over two million dollars in insurance policies during this period, and thus became a member of the Million Dollar Roundtable, the most prestigious insurance sales organization in the world. Since that time, Brother Hart has earned numerous awards and has attended various career schools. He has received his M.A. degree in Estate The Sphinx / Fall 1983

Planning from the American College/ Bankers Life Joint Program. He also graduated with a degree from the Dale Carnegie School of Business. During his rather short career in the insurance business, Brother Hart has been promoted from Insurance Agent to Supervisor to Unit Manager and thus is moving onward and upward toward the light in his field of endeavor. He has also set up a company of his own, "Tyrone Hart & Associates," and within the last two years has performed extensive work in the area of insurance consulting. In his endeavors of insurance consulting, Tyrone tends to concentrate his efforts on the Black community as well as universities and professional schools, in terms of recruitment and public awareness of the insurance industry and Black perspective of it. For the past four years, Brother Hart has been a very active member of the Omicron Lambda Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, serving in whatever capacity he can in all OLA Affairs. He coordinates our annual B-ball Affair every fall, to aid in raising funds for the OLA Youth Scholarship Fund. Brother Hart also consistently informs OLA of any current and potential investment possibilities that the chapter should involve itself in order to better serve the community. Much of Brother Hart's inspiration for upholding the Alpha ideals comes from his attending our national conventions. A convention that he fondly remembers is the 1980 Convention where Brother Walter Washington served as a keynote speaker. In Brother Washington's speech, Tyrone recalls our former President stating something to the effect that, "Alpha men should strive harder, better, for your family, economic and spiritual needs" and that "an Alpha man should be a $50,000 man as well as a great man." Via our observations of Brother Hart, most of the Brothers of this chapter would ascertain that he does live by these objectives and is, in thought, word, and deed . . . an Alpha Man!
