In 1975, an alumni chapter was established in the North Chicago/Waukegan area. On January 17, Kappa Chi Lambda received its charter with Alpha Brothers George H. Dillard, David I. Logan, Walter McCallum, Willie J. Stepney, Willie J. Stewart, Robert L. Thirston, Leroy Thompson, Jr., Allen Turk, Melvin Washington, James Walker, Jr. and Richard Thompson serving as it's Charter members.

Since then, Kappa Chi Lambda has consistently been at the forefront helping to correct the educational, economic, political, and social injustices faced by African Americans. It is our mission  to always supply voice and vision to the struggle of African Americans and people of color here in Lake County, IL.
