AMessaqe from The President
"The opportunity to practice brotherhood presents Itself
everytime you meet a human being."
Greetings Brothers! The month of March begins the tradi¬ tional process of membership intake; that ritual in which we bring new blood into the alumni chapter that was not privi¬ leged to join our ranks during their college years. Under the direction of the Chairman of Membership Intake John R. Johnson, the chapter will select, among those seeking membership, an Intake Class that we can be proud of and one which mirrors the excellent contributions of the past In¬ take Classes.
Many thanks to Bro. Moses Boyd, Sam Thornton, and Juli¬ us Hall who assembled Mu Lambda/Alpha Capitol Hill staff members for ameeting with General President Milton C. Da¬ vis. Mu Lambda's unique position in the nation’s capital places achapter responsibility on developing coherent pub¬ lic policy platform recommendations to the General Organi¬ zation.
Along those lines, agroup of Mu Lambda brothers has
been invited to brief tnS Qenerai session on the upcoming policy issues on Capitol Hill. Once again, thanks to all the brothers of the Hill-lunch group for spending time with the General President.
