Omicron Alpha Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Omicron Alpha Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. develops leaders, promotes brotherhood and academic excellence, while providing service and advocacy for our communities.

The objectives of this Fraternity shall be: to stimulate the ambition of its members; to prepare them for the greatest usefulness in the causes of humanity, freedom, and dignity of the individual; to encourage the highest and noblest form of manhood; and to aid down-trodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social, economic and intellectual status. Since its founding on December 4, 1906,

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has supplied voice and vision to the struggle of African-Americans and people of color around the world. Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African-Americans, was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of Brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The visionary founders, known as the “Jewels” of the Fraternity, are Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy. The Fraternity initially served as a study and support group for minority students who faced racial prejudice, both educationally and socially, at Cornell. The Jewel founders and early leaders of the Fraternity succeeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha's principles of scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of humanity. Alpha Phi Alpha chapters were established at other colleges and universities, many of them historically black institutions, soon after the founding at Cornell. The first Alumni Chapter was established in 1911. While continuing to stress academic excellence among its members, Alpha also recognized the need to help correct the educational, economic, political, and social injustices faced by African-Americans. Alpha Phi Alpha has long stood at the forefront of the African-American community's fight for civil rights through leaders such as: W.E.B. DuBois, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Edward Brooke, Martin Luther King, Jr., Thurgood Marshall, Andrew Young, William Gray, Paul Robeson, and many others. True to its form as the “first of firsts,” Alpha Phi Alpha has been in*******al since 1945.

What an unforgettable evening of elegance, purpose, and community impact!
​Yesterday, the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Omicron Alpha Lambda Chapter hosted our annual Black and Gold Scholarship Gala: Black Ice Edition. It was a night dedicated to celebrating academic excellence and investing heavily in the future of our youth.
​The undisputed highlight of the evening was our phenomenal keynote speaker, Rev. Sandra K. Agnew James.

​Rev. James delivered a masterclass in leadership, purpose, and service. Her powerful, thought-provoking, and deeply inspiring message challenged every person in the room to look within, stand firm in our convictions, and continue the vital work of uplifting our communities. Her words didn't just fill the room—they ignited a collective call to action that will resonate long after the lights of the gala have dimmed.

​ A Heartfelt Thank You:

​To Rev. Sandra K. Agnew James: Thank you for your profound wisdom, your grace, and for pouring so powerfully into our mission. You truly elevated the evening.

​To Our Guests & Supporters: Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and partnered with us. Because of your generosity, we are able to continue providing life-changing scholarships to deserving young scholars.
