President's Welcome

Bro. Yusef Roberson

President, Epsilon Rho Lambda Chapter

Welcome to the Epsilon Rho Lambda (ERL) Website, Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

I am honored to serve as the President of this esteemed chapter. The ERL Chapter is a unique blend of professionals, college graduates, active and retired military personnel, all committed to the mission of our fraternity:

"Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. develops leaders, promotes brotherhood and academic excellence, while providing service and advocacy for our communities."

Our chapter strives to meet the needs of our community by mentoring disenfranchised and at-risk youth in elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the school year and during the summer. Additionally, our chapter makes it a priority to provide meals to the homeless at the Salvation Army twice a month.

Dedicated to strengthening our chapter with the great brothers located in the Fayetteville/Fort Liberty area, we engage in retention and reclamation initiatives such as "First Tuesdays," a monthly brotherhood gathering at a restaurant on the first Tuesday of each month, as well as Brotherhood Smokes and chapter sporting events such as softball, basketball, and bowling.

Inspired by our fraternity motto, "First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All!", we support our national programs by partnering with the March of Dimes to raise funds for babies and mothers, providing scholarship opportunities through the G. L. Butler, David Mack, and I Am A.L.P.H.A. scholarships and mentoring initiative. We also support national, state, and local voting initiatives by assisting people in voter registration and remain committed to our Brothers Keeper program.

The Epsilon Rho Lambda Chapter is thriving, and I eagerly anticipate your participation in our efforts to support the needs of our community.
