The year 1973 marks a significant milestone in the history of the Kappa Iota Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated. On November 15, 1973, a charter was issued, designating the establishment of this new Alpha chapter, which was assigned Key Number 532. This moment was pivotal for Alpha men in South Jersey, who were presented with the option to affiliate with one of the Philadelphia area chapters or North Jersey's chapters.

Under the leadership of three brothers from the Zeta Iota Lambda Chapter in Mercer County—Dr. Clinton Akins, Dr. Hubert Byron, and Dr. George Phillips—a concerted effort was made to organize local brothers. Their initial gathering took place at Brother Akins' residence in Burlington, New Jersey. They played an instrumental role in uniting brothers in the region to establish Kappa Iota Lambda Chapter and diligently worked on reclaiming inactive members. Notably, State President Brother Elbert Wisner provided critical support in organizing this new chapter.

Kappa Iota Lambda Chapter was chartered with an original membership of 15 individuals, including Brothers Drs. Byron, Phillips, and Oasin.
