Delta Beta Lambda Chapter | Hampton, Va

Over the summer, the brothers of the Delta Beta Lambda chapter remained active with several events:

On June 24th, the chapter hosted its annual golf tournament at Deer Run Golf Course in Newport News, which received strong support from the community. Brothers interacted with several members in their fundraising efforts to provide scholarships for local high school boys seeking to go to college.

In July, Brother Ronald Davenport, and Brother Earnest Davenport volunteered their time at the Boys and Girls Club of the Northern Neck for an SAT Prep course. This directly engaged with our national program of Go To High School, Go To College.

In August, the chapter began the fraternal year under a new administration, with Brother Michael Bellamy setting out his vision for the chapter during his tenure as president during the chapter retreat. This strategic planning meeting allowed brothers to dive into topics and create solutions to navigate through challenges and take advantage of opportunities as they come.

Overall, the brothers of Delta Beta Lambda are poised to have a strong fraternal year, with events planned to provide service to, and advocate on behalf of, the Hampton community.
