WHY: The nurturing of the male seed is critical to ensuring their success in our society. The Beautillion program was designed to aid in the transition of high school to college. It is our reverent intent that programs of the Beautillion will leave footprints in the lives of the beaux who participate. The Delta Gamma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., through its Foundation, has provided financial incentives to college-bound men for the past ten years through this innovative program called the Delta Gamma Lambda Beautillion.
GOALS: The goal of the program is to provide individual mentoring and leadership training for its participants through programs, which emphasize scholarship, manly deeds, and love for all mankind. The Delta Gamma Lambda Chapter has long been a strong catalyst for social change in our community. The Delta Gamma Lambda Chapter was chartered in the Greater Cincinnati in 1947. It has been a beacon for over 60 years in the metropolitan area and nationwide.
