The Gamma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was chartered on March 22, 1919 in Detroit, Michigan by thirteen men who were influential in the Detroit community. These men, along with some of our early initiates, led many of the organizations that supported the uplift of African Americans in the city. Gamma Lambda is the third oldest alumni chapter in the fraternity and one of the largest, boasting a membership of over 300 brothers.
