About Us Eta Chi Lambda Chapter, the Rockland County Alumni Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was chartered here in November of 1961. Eta Chi Lambda Chapter began immediately to implement programs in Rockland that were sponsored by the national fraternity, notably the “Go to High School, Go to College” program. In 1963 we initiated our education program to celebrate the anniversary of the May 5, 1954 United States Supreme Court ban on racial segregation in public schools. Every year since 1963, Eta Chi Lambda has awarded scholarships to students graduating from Rockland County high schools. At these annual programs we have featured prominent members of the fraternity as keynote speakers. Some of thee personalities presented were: George Fowler, New York State Commissioner of Human Rights; Malvin R. Goode, United Nations Correspondent of the American Broadcasting Company; Samuel R. Pierce, Judge of the Court of General Sessions; Aaron Brown, assistant to the president of Long Island University, and member of the Board of Education of the City of New York; Harold Wood, Judge of the County Court of Westchester; Julian Bartley, Consul General of the U.S. in Nairobi, Kenya; Howard Dodson, Chief of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Annually, Eta Chi Lambda Chapter conducts programs including a spring Scholarship Luncheon, the Leonard Harper - Christopher Scudder Oratorical Contest, and a Women's History Month Celebration - Spelman College Jazz Ensemble concert. The chapter conducts national Alpha Phi Alpha community service programs including Project Alpha - teen pregnancy education and youth mentorship, Go To High School - Go To College, the March of Dimes - Walk For Babies, and a Voteless People is a Hopeless People.
