Greetings,

I am honored to serve as the 21st Chapter President of Delta Epsilon Lambda (DEL).  For the past 77 years, DEL has been a pillar in the Metro East St. Louis area.  We will continue to lead this effort “To Impact Lives For a Community to Thrive” within the Metro East.

I am committed to impacting the lives of the men of DEL so that we, as distinguished men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., can impact the lives of others. Our fraternity charges us to be “First of All, Servants of All while Transcending All.”  What stands out to me the most is being a servant of all.  I am a servant leader who is driven to serve and elevate others. Therefore, as we move forward, we will focus on the following pillars aimed to support the fraternity’s national programs and the needs of our communities:

·       Leadership

·       Brotherhood Engagement

·       Academic Excellence

·       Service and Advocacy

Our efforts to move onward and upward are amplified through our partnership with myriad stakeholders. Our stakeholders include the men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the Metro East St. Louis Community Initiative, the D9 community, elected officials, NAACP, NPHC, local businesses, faith-based organizations, schools, community residents, and many others. Through our collective efforts, we can truly impact lives so our communities can thrive.   

 

Oliver Keys, Jr.

21st Chapter President
