Theta Iota Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was officially seated in Springfield, Massachusetts on April 21, 1963 the 286th House of Alpha.
Several of Theta Iota Lambda Chapter's founding members had been active with the Hartford chapter, but they recognized the need and had the desire to bring Alpha Phi Alpha's programs and services closer to home in the Greater Springfield area.

The growing number of brothers in the area and the desire to do the work of Alpha in Springfield led to the movement to create Theta Iota Lambda Chapter.

“A Voteless People is a Hopeless People” (aka VPHP) was initiated as a National Program of Alpha during the 1930’s when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and lack of education about the voting process. Voter education and registration have remained a dominant focus of this outreach activity for over 65 years. In the 1990’s, the focus shifted to include political awareness and empowerment, delivered most frequently through town meetings and candidate forums.
