The Detroit Alphas Member Portal is the secure way for brothers to access private chapter information and pay chapter dues. To access these secure pages, you will need to sign in to the portal using your email address and password. Once you have registered and signed in, you will have access to the following private pages:

  • Chapter Lineage – a listing of all brothers initiated through the Gamma Lambda Chapter since 1920.
  • My Profile – your personal information, contact information, and site preferences
  • Chapter Documents – meeting minutes, meeting decks, chapter newsletters and other historical documents
  • Events Calendar – public and private events
  • Join Committee – a listing of chapter committees with an interest form
  • Member Directory – the directory of chapter members
    NOTE: This directory is available to Financial Members only
