ALPHAS KNOW HOW TO KEEP IT CLEAN Submitted by Bro. Devynne Espeut
Last month, the Kappa Phi Lambda community service committee hosted the first clean-up of the fraternal year for Howard County’s Adopt-A-Road program. ΚΦΛ Brothers and their guests attended the Saturday morning gathering to help preserve the beautification of the chapter’s adopted road. The social committee encourages Brothers to continue to participate in this quarterly clean-up. Continue to be on the lookout for the date of our next scheduled date. The chapter’s clean-up area is located on Broken Land Parkway in Columbia. Look for the “Alpha” sign alongside the road.
To our good Brothers of ΚΦΛ
