Kappa Lambda Chapter - Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Chartered on Saturday, June 9, 1923, in Greensboro, North Carolina, by Brother Stanback of Wilson, North Carolina, Kappa Lambda made history as the first alumni chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. in North Carolina and the 10th alumni chapter established fraternity-wide. Kappa Lambda quickly became a beacon of leadership, scholarship, and service throughout the state.

The chapter’s charter members included several trailblazers whose impact extended far beyond Alpha. Our 7 charter members:

Brother F. L. Merry – President
Brother F. D. Bluford – Vice President
Brother J. B. Matthews – Secretary
Brother D. K. Cherry – Chaplain
Brother C. W. Davis
Brother R. O. Lanier
Brother H. D. Giles

Brother Ferdinand D. Bluford served as the transformative president of North Carolina A&T State University for 30 years, elevating the institution into a nationally respected HBCU. Brother Raphael O’Hara Lanier became a distinguished educator, diplomat, and founding president of Texas Southern University. Brother Julius B. Matthews broke barriers in medicine and civic leadership, while Brother David K. Cherry strengthened Black higher education as an educator, administrator, and college president. Brother Clarence W. Davis was recognized for advancing physical education at Howard University, helping transform the department into one of the university’s most dynamic programs.

As Kappa Lambda continues its second century of service, it remains guided by the principles of leadership, scholarship, fellowship, and the uplifting of humanity. The chapter’s rich legacy is reflected not only in its historic accomplishments but also in its ongoing commitment to making a positive impact in the communities it serves.

This past weekend, the Tate Williams Leadership and Mentor Academy participated in the Community Health Fair hosted by the Kappa Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., in partnership with the Hayes-Taylor Memorial YMCA. Pictured with Brothers is Mr. Jeremiah Powell, a mentee, presenting his research titled ‘Big and Bold: Fuel Your Body and Power Your Life.’

This weekend’s Community Health Fair was a powerful reminder of what happens when service meets purpose. From health screenings to valuable resources, we were able to pour into our community, promote wellness, and create meaningful connections that make a lasting impact.

Thank you to the Hayes-Taylor YMCA, all of our sponsors, vendors, and community members who showed up and showed love, we couldn’t have done it without you. Together, we’re building a healthier, stronger community.
