The first South African Alpha Phi Alpha Chapter on the African Continent.
The Rho Phi Lambda Chapter (also known as the South Africa Alphas) was Chartered in July 2010. Rho Phi Lambda was the first Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha established internationally in the 21st century and is the second Alpha Chapter in Africa, after Epsilon Eta which was founded in Liberia in 1976 and re-chartered in 2012. As a country-wide Chapter for South Africa, Rho Phi Lambda is the effective “house” of Alpha Phi Alpha for more than 30 men of Alpha who live in predominately in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Angola as well as few members based in U.S. The aim of the Chapter is to grow its membership into a large and impactful base to serve and help accelerate the growth of civil society in South Africa.
The Chapter consists of many distinguished members who were educated at the some of the world’s best universities including Harvard, Oxford, Johns Hopkins, University of Michigan, Northwestern, University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Duke University, to name a few.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is the first inter-collegiate Greek-letter organization established for African Americans.
Education is where all this started and in South Africa it is the basis of the improvement of lives.
Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind. This is the cornerstone for all our projects, ensuring we not only improve the lives of others, but create an example we hope for those we mentor to follow.
We are actively involved in all the projects we support. Nothing feeds the soul as much as participating in the improvement of the lives and circumstances of others.
Adhering to the Alphi Phi Alpha tradition on educational focus, we are always looking into new and effective education and mentorship projects.
Africa presents unique but rewarding challenges in our efforts ..... but Africa's got game!
Alpha Phi Alpha has many connections through out history to South Africa, we are ensuring these legacies stay current,
We are growing and keeping the core principles of brotherhood alive and well, creating a link between continents.
