Zeta Sigma Lambda vs Bunch

This official Zeta Sigma Lambda App is for members of the chapter and the community to find out about our events, chat with Chapter members, View Chapter Documents, View Chapter Directory, and much more. The ability to effectively communicate with Chapter members and the community will help us continue to develop leaders, promote brotherhood and academic excellence, while providing service and advocacy for our community. Since its founding on December 4, 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has supplied voice and vision to the struggle of African-Americans and people of color around the world. Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African-Americans, was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of Brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The visionary founders, known as the “Jewels” of the Fraternity, are Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy. The Fraternity initially served as a study and support group for minority students who faced racial prejudice, both educationally and socially, at Cornell. The Jewel founders and early leaders of the Fraternity succeeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha's principles of scholarship, fellowship, good character, and the uplifting of humanity. Alpha Phi Alpha chapters were established at other colleges and universities, many of them historically black institutions, soon after the founding at Cornell. The first Alumni Chapter was established in 1911. While continuing to stress academic excellence among its members, Alpha also recognized the need to help correct the educational, economic, political, and social injustices faced by African-Americans. Alpha Phi Alpha has long stood at the forefront of the African-American community's fight for civil rights through leaders such as: W.E.B. DuBois, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Edward Brooke, Martin Luther King, Jr., Thurgood Marshall, Andrew Young, William Gray, Paul Robeson, and many others. True to its form as the “first of firsts,” Alpha Phi Alpha has been interracial since 1945.

Meet new people in small, cozy hangouts. Entirely free. Bunch makes it easier to turn the people around you into actual community. We're not like other event platforms. Bunch is built around small, personal hangouts where people can actually talk and get to know each other. When members RSVP, they show up. Everyone checks in or cancels in advance, so no one is left waiting at a table alone. Coffee, brunch, dinner, a walk, coworking, board games, drinks in the neighborhood. Join something happening near you or create your own Bunch at your favorite spot, on your schedule. Meet locals who share your interests, age group, and vibe. See familiar faces again, make plans together, and let friendships develop naturally over time. BUNCH FOR COMMUNITIES Bunch is now helping existing communities make it easier for their people to connect in real life. Coworking spaces, residential buildings, offices, universities, neighborhoods, and other communities can have their own space on Bunch where members can find each other and start getting together. No dedicated event organizer required. Anyone in the community can initiate: lunch with coworkers, coffee with neighbors, a study break, an after-work drink, a weekend walk, or whatever people feel like doing. Part of a community you'd like to bring to Bunch? Let us know. We'd love to work with you to get it set up. Real people. Real plans. Real community. Learn more at LetsBunch.com.
