The efforts of the the Brothers of Rho Phi Lambda in working to re-establish Alpha in Africa after a 30 plus year hiatus followed the establishment in 1976 of Kappa Phi chapter in Monrovia, Liberia (which had been preceded in 1958 by Eta Epsilon Lambda also in Monrovia, Liberia). Both of the Liberian chapters were de-chartered - but a current effort is underway to re-charter a chapter of Alpha in Liberia within the next 12 months.
