Chapter Records, circa 1999-2019 (majority within 1999-2009)

Online

The Chapter Records series (1.9 linear feet) documents the actions of the Theta Zeta Lambda alumni chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. The bulk of the series is comprised of meeting minutes and agendas, but the series also includes reports, correspondence, directories, constitutions and by-laws, and other material, as well as archived iterations of the Theta Zeta Lambda website from 2017-2019.

Researchers should note that some folders contained in "Meetings" (for example: "Minutes, Correspondence, and Other Compiled Materials, 1979-1981") were originally binders that included not only meeting minutes but correspondence and various other materials. These materials have been kept together.
