​KOL Local History


A group of dedicated men seeking the bonds of brotherhood and carrying forth the
aims of the organization founded the Kappa Omicron Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity, Inc. July 2, 1974. These men were leaders in their chosen
professions and had strong focus on the improvement of their community.
Collectively, these men came together to shine the light of Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity upon the communities in Solano County. They were driven to uphold the
high standards and aims of the fraternity: Manly Deeds, Scholarship and Love for
All Mankind. The Founders of Kappa Omicron Lambda Chapter are:
​
Jesse Bethel
Henry Elliott
Otha Green
Maurice Lee
Herman Smith
Buford Thompson
Frank Whitson

The vision of these men has been passed on to the current members of our
Chapter, along with the educational and community service programs we sponsor in
Solano and East Contra Costa County communities.
