    The alumni association

    Carrying the chapter forward

    Gamma Delta Alumni Association, LLC brings brothers together across generations. It organizes gatherings like the 80th Anniversary Homecoming, keeps brothers connected through the Roll Call, and supports the undergraduate chapter and future scholarship and leadership efforts.

    The association is distinct from the collegiate Gamma Delta Chapter and does not speak for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. or UAPB. The chapter appears in UAPB’s listing of Greek-lettered organizations.
