Bro. Xavier Carr: Service, Creativity, and Brotherhood in Action
Bro. Xavier Carr crossed into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. through Gamma Lambda in Fall 2023 as part of the 6 Great Adjos of Khafre.. Known on his line as “Imhotep,” he holds the Quad position.

Bro. Paris Wilson: A Journey of Service, Leadership, and Coming Home
Bro. Paris Wilson, initiated through Zeta Delta (Spring 2011) as “Chinzera,” Deuce of PHOUR, brings his passion for service and leadership home to Gamma Lambda.
