THE MU LAMBDA
CHAPTER  

​

Dear Brothers,

​

I greet you all as we enter the month of May, a time that reflects both the culmination of hard work and the continued promise of our collective impact. I write today with a deep sense of pride in the accomplishments of this great chapter.

​

First and foremost, I extend my sincere gratitude to all the brothers who participated in this year’s March of Dimes campaign, helping Mu Lambda raise a record-breaking $16,000 in donations. This extraordinary effort has positioned our chapter as the second-highest donor in the Fraternity internationally for 2026, a remarkable achievement that speaks to the strength of our commitment to service. This initiative, led by Brother Jeffery Taylor, continues to grow in tremendous leaps and bounds; I commend both his leadership and the dedication of every brother who contributed to this success. Your efforts have brought a shining light to Mu Lambda and reaffirmed our role as leaders in community impact.

​

I would also like to thank the many brothers who made the annual pilgrimage to the Eastern Regional Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey. As always, Mu Lambda showed up in strong numbers. We were engaged in the business of Alpha Phi Alpha, participating in impactful sessions, fellowshipping with brothers from across the region, and playing an active role in the election of new leadership, including our Eastern Regional Vice President. Your presence ensured that our chapter’s voice and influence were both seen and felt.

​

Lastly, it is my honor to extend heartfelt congratulations to Brother Father Robert P. Boxie III on his historic appointment as Auxiliary Bishop of Washington, D.C. This achievement marks a significant milestone, as he becomes the first brother to attain this position within the Catholic Diocese. Brother Boxie continues to serve faithfully as the Catholic Chaplain at Howard University and resides at Immaculate Conception Parish. Initiated into the Kappa Theta Chapter at Vanderbilt University in the Spring of 2000 and now a dedicated member of Mu Lambda, his journey is a testament to faith, leadership, and service at the highest level. We celebrate this moment with immense pride.

​

Brothers, as we continue forward, let us remain committed to excellence in all that we do: service to our community, engagement within our Fraternity, and the uplift of one another. The work we are doing matters, and together, we will continue to build upon this strong foundation.

​

Fraternally,

Mikael E. LaRoche, President,
