Chapter History

Alpha Lambda Sigma Chapter was chartered in 1945 by a distinguished group of professional men from the Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg areas.

 

These men were primarily civic leaders and educators.  Their names were as follows:

 

Bro. James Bates Bro. Dr. Guy Douglas

Bro. Melrose West Bro. Julius Williams Bro. William Murphy

For 70 years Alpha Lambda Sigma Chapter has kept the lofty ideals of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., “Culture for Service, and Service for Humanity”.

 

From Alpha Lambda Sigma Chapter of Greenville, South Carolina came the 25^th National President, the Honorable James T. Floyd. Bro. Floyd’s exemplary leadership and service were immortalized in 2003 by the establishment of the James T. Floyd Hall Of Fame for the Southeastern Region of the fraternity. 

Many leaders within the upstate have come from the ranks of Alpha Lambda Sigma Chapter, such as Brother Reverend John T. Corbitt, Pastor of Monks Grove Baptist Church, Brother Reverend Phillip Baldwin, Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Brother Reverend Thomas Bowman, Pastor of St. Mark United Methodist Church, Brother Ralph Anderson State Senator of District No. 7 Greenville County, Mauldin City Councilman Bro.
