Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity – Delta Lambda Chapter
2025 – 2026 Beautillion Scholars Program
The Delta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity sponsors an annual Beautillion Program to raise funds for deserving male students. A Beautillion is a formal event designed for young men to learn social graces and essential skills for success in life, ultimately aiming to cultivate gentlemen. Each spring, Delta Lambda hosts this annual event for high school men from the Baltimore metropolitan area who plan to attend college the following fall. The ultimate purpose is to create a holistic African American student.

To be considered for admission into the program, candidates must have a minimum 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale, demonstrate leadership potential (e.g., academic, athletic, religious), and participate in extracurricular activities.
