About Us
The Kappa Xi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc , affectionately known as the Wall Street Alphas, was originally chartered on August 22, 1974, and re-chartered on October 5, 2002, following an extended period of inactivity. Since its reestablishment, the chapter has become a driving force for leadership, service, and empowerment in the Lower Manhattan area. Grounded in the fraternity’s mission of developing leaders, promoting brotherhood, academic excellence while providing service and advocacy in our communities, Kappa Xi Lambda actively supports Alpha Phi Alpha’s national programs: Go to High School, Go to College, A Voteless People Is a Hopeless People, My Brother’s Keeper, and Project Alpha .
At the heart of our community engagement is The Alpha G.E.N.T.S. Mentoring Program, which empowers young men of color (ages 13-18) with the skills needed to become productive, responsible, and successful members of society. Focused on leadership development, college and career readiness, and financial literacy, this initiative closes opportunity gaps while fostering a sense of accountability and excellence among our mentees.
Beyond mentorship, the Wall Street Alphas organize impactful events like Think Black: our black tie gala, The Power to Vote Black, and annual Founder’s Day community outreach projects, alongside various social and educational programs. Our chapter remains committed to uplifting the community, honoring our legacy, and inspiring future generations through service and leadership.
