President's Message - Sept. 2024
Bro. Mikael E. LaRoche
My dear Brothers and Supporters of Mu Lambda,
I hope this message finds you well and in the best of spirits. As the summer draws to a close, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication to the causes and programs that define our beloved Mu Lambda Chapter.
Throughout this summer, we have truly exemplified the spirit of our fraternity. From our full delegate strength traveling to Chicago for the “Leaven of Self-Examination” Constitutional Convention in July, to the heartfelt support you extended to me personally by attending my daughter’s fourth birthday party, the bonds of Brotherhood have been as strong as ever. We have not only supported each other and our families, but we have also upheld the principles of Alpha by actively engaging in our community.
Our collaborative work with the Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., - Xi Omega Chapter to do a Virtual Voter Registration Education event, and the work with the Federal City Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. are shining examples. Together, we helped their chapter move hundreds of back-to-school and aid items to benefit the Ward 7 and Ward 8 communities and educated over 50 members of both organizations and the community on "how to" create effective voter registration drives. This collective effort has undoubtedly made a lasting impact, and I am proud to have worked alongside such committed and compassionate sisters. I hope we continue to foster lasting relationships in the area with our partnerships.
I am filled with anticipation and optimism as we look to the year ahead. The Brothers of Mu Lambda continue to exemplify leadership and excellence, turning challenges into opportunities with every project and program we undertake. Our journey into the next century of this chapter is not just a continuation but an elevation of our mission and purpose. One hundred and one years of Excellence begins now, and I am eager to see all that we will achieve together.
Thank you, once again, for your steadfast commitment and the Brotherhood that makes Mu Lambda a beacon of service, leadership, and excellence.
Fraternally,
Brother Mikael E. LaRoche,
President (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.
