DECEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Greetings to the Brothers of Mu Lambda Chapter,
I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits as we transition into the colder months and reflect on the meaningful work we’ve accomplished together.
Let me begin by expressing my heartfelt gratitude for an unforgettable month of November. From our impactful community service projects to our fellowship and shared commitment to Alpha Phi Alpha’s mission, each of you played a vital role in ensuring our chapter’s continued success.
As winter sets in, bringing with it ICE-COLD temperatures, let us embrace this season with the same tenacity and focus that have defined us for the past 101 years. December holds special significance for us, as we commemorate 118 years of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., founded on the campus of Cornell University in 1906. This milestone reminds us of our responsibility to honor the Seven Jewels’ vision by remaining steadfast in our commitments.
This month, we celebrate our brotherhood and achievements at events like the 11th Hosting of Black Ice and the MAAC Annual Prayer Breakfast. These moments of unity and reflection offer us opportunities to deepen our bonds and recommit ourselves to the transformative work ahead.
Our community depends on our leadership and resilience to move Onward and Upward. Together, we will build on the foundation laid by our founders and create a brighter future for the communities we serve.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication, my brothers. I look forward to celebrating this season of Alpha with each of you and stepping into the new year ready to expand our legacy of service, advocacy, and leadership.
Brother Mikael E. LaRoche,
(10-Mu Lambda-13)

About Mu Lambda
Mu Lambda is Alpha's eleventh alumni chapter, chartered October 1, 1923, in Washington D.C. The chapter was established, in part, in response to the desire of graduate brothers, many of whom were initiated into Beta Chapter at Howard University, to give aid to the undergraduate brothers and continue the work of Alpha. Chartered by 22 distingushed men of Alpha which included Jewel Nathaniel Allison Murray and Jewel Robert Harold Ogle.
