Our Legacy of Brotherhood

A History of Impact

In 1984, seven visionary men founded the Xi Psi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., a beacon of hope in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.
Their mission to uplift communities and mentor leaders lives on through scholarships, mentorship, and transformative initiatives—a legacy of service and love.

“Leadership in Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is never merely a title. Being active in the Sarasota and Manatee counties is a call we take seriously. Moving forward, our mandate is clear, put service before self, uphold scholarship and accountability, and strengthen the bond of our Brotherhood. We will continue to walk with purpose, lead with conviction, and honor the legacy of the greats of our Dear Fraternity.”

Dr. Jeffrey C. Ball, Chapter President
