In addition to the fraternity’s National Programs – Project Alpha, Go to High School, Go to College and Voter Registration, Zeta Pi Lambda Chapter has been deeply involved in the Seattle community through other programs such as the Guiding Light Mentorship Program, Big Brothers, the C.P Johnson Scholarship Fund, the Herbert Starke Scholarship Fund, and the Karl Holifield Scholarship Fund. Zeta Pi Lambda has awarded tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships to deserving local high school students. Many of the mentees and scholarship recipients have gone on to become Alpha Men and college graduates. During its 5 year adoption of a local middle school, the Chapter has donated clothing, food, school supplies, and provide mentorship opportunities to its students. The Chapter is currently endeavoring to establish a new, comprehensive mentorship program, the Jr. Gents Mentorship Program for young men ages 12 – 18, with the goal to launch the program in Fall, 2018.
