Congratulations!  The Omicron Rho Lambda Chapter of Vicksburg, MS was recently awarded the March of Dimes Project Alpha Award at Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.’s 97th General Convention in Dallas, TX on July 29, 2023 at their Gala.

We, the men of Omicron Rho Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., hosted our annual Gentlemen Luncheon on June 3, 2023 to honor and congratulate the young men of our mentoring program before we ended the year before the summer break.

We, the men of Omicron Rho Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., held a small intimate meet and greet session on March 9, 2023 that only consisted of Alpha brothers to welcome two of the fraternity’s newest Alpha men, Bro. Adrian Clark and Bro. Tyrone Pinkins.  They both were initiated or crossed the burning sands March 5, 2023 as Alumni brothers with the Mississippi District’s Area 4 Spring 2023 Cluster.

Greetings and God Speed from the Mighty House of Alpha my dear brothers and friends of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.  I have been blessed to lead such a fine group of brothers by being their President of the Omicron Rho Lambda Chapter.  These brothers and I truly work diligently to support and carry out the aims of the fraternity: Manly Deeds, Scholarships, and Love for All Mankind.

The Omicron Rho Lambda Chapter has been steadfast at serving the Vicksburg, Mississippi community.  We will continue to do our part in developing leaders, promoting brotherhood and academic excellence, while providing service and advocacy for our community.  First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All.

“There are only two ways to go in life: Onward and Upward. Onward and Upward are perpendicular and thus have a beginning. This beginning is called: Alpha Phi Alpha.”

Very Respectfully,

 

Willie Thomas, Sr.

Omicron Rho Lambda, President
