Our Programs
Voteless People Is A Hopeless People
Voter Registration Drive
“A Voteless People is a Hopeless People” was initiated as a National Program of Alpha Phi Alpha during the 1930’s when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and lack of education about the voting process. Voter education and registration have remained a dominant focus of this outreach activity for over 65 years. The Xi Phi Lambda Chapter continues the legacy of A Voteless People is a Hopeless People through Voter Registration drives throughout the Lowcountry.

Workshops & 3-On-3 Basketball Tournament
Project Alpha is a collaborative project is designed to provide education, motivation and skill-building on issues of responsibility, relationships, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases for young males ages 12-15 years. Designed to provide young men with current and accurate information about teen pregnancy prevention, Project Alpha consists of a series of workshops and informational sessions conducted by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brothers.
The Xi Phi Lambda Chapter hosted a Project Alpha Jamboree. The event was a mix of Project Alpha Curriculum Content, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, and a live DJ. Over 75 young men and their families attended the event. The event ended with the basketball tournament and one team took home a $500 cash prize! We hope to continue this creative and productive Project Alpha event for years to come!
