Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 159 (Friday, October 9, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 159 (Friday, October 9, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1048] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE ZETA ALPHA LAMBDA CHAPTER OF ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY, INC. ______ HON. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ of florida in the house of representatives Friday, October 9, 2026 Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Zeta Alpha Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. for its extraordinary record of leadership, service, mentorship, and civic engagement throughout Broward County. For decades, the Brothers of Zeta Alpha Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to strengthening our community and creating opportunities for future generations. The Chapter has promoted civic participation through voter education and registration, Souls to the Polls initiatives, community education regarding election laws, transportation to the polls, and engagement within Broward County, Florida. That commitment to service is exemplified by the Chapter's Men of Tomorrow mentoring program, which has prepared generations of middle- and high-school young men for college, careers, leadership, and adulthood. During the past fraternal year, 51 young men participated in programming focused on college preparation, public speaking, financial aid, entrepreneurship, personal development, community service, and leadership. The Chapter's collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters has further expanded these valuable mentoring and enrichment opportunities. Zeta Alpha Lambda has also remained steadfast in supporting important health and charitable causes, including its near 20-year commitment to the March of Dimes' March for Babies and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. This year, Zeta Alpha Lambda celebrated another remarkable milestone--its 50th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, marking five decades of preserving and advancing Dr. King's legacy of service, equality, leadership, and community. It is with great pleasure that I recognize and thank the Brothers of Zeta Alpha Lambda for the profound and lasting difference they continue to make in the lives of others. Their legacy reflects the very best of public service, brotherhood, and community leadership. May the Chapter continue to build upon this distinguished record and uphold the timeless principles of Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind--strengthening our community, inspiring future generations, and leaving a legacy of service for many years to come. ____________________
