ΓΛ Oral History Project
About the Oral History Project
The Gamma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated was founded in 1919 in Detroit, Michigan. The purpose of this oral history project is to record and capture interviews with members and close contacts of the fraternity as way to preserve the history of the chapter for future generations. Each participant will be asked to sit for a 30-60 minute interview. These interviews will be editted and transcribed for use in upcoming video and history-related projects.
If you would like to be interviewed or suggest a brother or friend of the chapter to be interviewed, please contact the Oral History Committee. If you are ready to be interviewed, please use the calendar below to book an appointment. You will be contacted by phone prior to your interview date to discuss the interview process and the questions we plan to ask. We will also use this pre-interview to identify topics unique to your experience and background.
Where will the interviews take place?
Most interviews will be conducted in the Historic Alpha House at 293 Eliot St in Detroit. This location will give the video team better control of sound and lighting. We also plan to conduct interviews on some days in a suburban location, and some can be scheduled in the home of the interview subject.
