Greetings from the President
Dear Brothers,
It is with great honor and humility that I greet you as the President of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Iota Lambda Chapter here in Indianapolis. Our chapter has a rich legacy of leadership, service, and impact, and I am both inspired and energized to continue this tradition alongside each of you. As we move forward, my vision is that we not only strengthen our bond as Brothers but also expand our influence within the community, living out the true aims of our beloved fraternity.
I invite you to take this season as an opportunity to reconnect with the work of Alpha here in Indianapolis. Whether you have been active for years, recently returned home, or are seeking a way to re-engage, your time, talent, and presence are needed. Together, we can increase our chapter’s effectiveness and build new opportunities that uplift our people and transform our city.
My door and the chapter’s table are always open to you. I encourage you to connect with me and with the Brothers of Iota Lambda as we chart a course for excellence. Let us stand united, shoulder to shoulder, as men of distinction and service. I look forward to building, working, and growing with each of you in the true spirit of Alpha.
Fraternally,
John Russell
