Eta Rho Lambda Chapter
Serving Rochester, NY since 1960

After many years of traveling to and from Rochester to Buffalo for meetings, it was decided that with a growing population of Alpha men in Rochester that a chapter should be established to serve Rochester. On October 2, 1960, Eta Rho Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., was established. Charter members were: Reuben Davis, Waddell Johnson, William Knox, Dr. Vantuyl Levy, Dr. Charles Lunsford, Robert Morrison, Stanley Thomas, Albert Whitaker and William Wortham.
