CHAPTER NEWS
The brothers and alumni members of Mu Sigma Chapter at the Rochester Institute of Technology and University of Rochester donated $58,000 to establish the Alpha Phi Alpha Mu Sigma Endowment Fund. The brothers were chartered and recognized for being the first African-American group to establish an endowment during the school’s annual gala. The endowment will provide scholarships for African-American and Latino students pursuing careers in science and engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Each fall, brothers at Mu Sigma Lambda Chapter in Los Angeles, complete a trio of service projects that span across metropolitan Los Angeles: a Thanksgiving meal giveaway, the Junior Gents Mentorship Project and an annual holiday toy drive.

Thanksgiving 2013 saw brothers deliver more than $2,000 in groceries for 10 families. In the mentoring program, led by Brother Kraig Golden, the chapter is mentoring 25 “junior gents” ages 13 to 18. They are learning everything from how to tie ties, to how to avoiding sexually transmitted diseases. The young men also volunteer at the Los Angeles Mission, learning how to serve the less-fortunate through community service. Closing out the year, the brothers of Mu Sigma Lambda donated toys to ill children at Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center in Downey, Calif.
