Zeta Rho Lambda, Alpha Phi Alpha

Today, the Men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Zeta Rho Lambda Chapter, stand in profound pride and solemn remembrance as the State of Delaware honors our late Brother, John E. Stevenson, by dedicating the John E. Stevenson Youth Center at Wharton Hall in his name.

Brother Stevenson—a Spring 2018 initiate of Zeta Rho Lambda who entered the Omega Chapter in 2021—devoted his life to lifting the spirits and shaping the futures of Delaware’s most vulnerable youth. His work was not just service; it was a ministry of compassion, discipline, guidance, and unwavering belief in the potential of every young person he touched.

This honor bestowed by our state is a testament to a life lived with purpose and a heart that beat for others.
And though our Brother now rests in Omega, his light has not dimmed—it echoes in every life he helped redirect, every child he encouraged, and every family he uplifted.

We miss him dearly.
We feel his absence.
And yet, his legacy continues to speak with a clarity and power that reminds us what it means to be an Alpha Man.

May this dedication stand forever as a symbol of his love, leadership, and lifelong commitment to service.
