Upon leaving school, he joined the workforce where he worked in both the not-for-profit and the for-profit business sectors in Program/Operations management. Currently, he is a Business Services Supervisor with the corporate office of Randstad USA. After years of working, he decided to return to school and get a Master of Science degree in Public Administration from Central Michigan University, where he is nearing completion of that goal. Now, Sibert became involved with what would eventually become Rho Pi Lambda during its formative years when it was the Coalition of Alpha Brothers. While he was not involved in the initial conversations to start a chapter in the West Georgia area, which included Carroll; Douglas; and Paulding counties, he was amongst the first brothers that the men we now designate as Chapter Founders contacted. Brother Sibert was first contacted by Jermaine Jackson, but during the Coalition’s first meeting, he was reunited with his college classmate, Dr. Said L. Sewell- the architect of Rho Pi Lambda’s founding. Through his affiliation with the coalition, he was able to see the election of Dr. Jack Jenkins as President of the Coalition and subsequently the application for the establishment of the chapter in the area. In July of 2008, the Coalition received the charter from the National Office to become a chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and subsequently given the name Rho Pi Lambda. To commemorate the chapter’s establishment, we hosted a Chartering Ceremony for which was Brother Sibert was instrumental in coordinating. Our first President of the newly established chapter was Dr. George Rolle and Dr. Said L. Sewell was his Vice President and Sibert served as the Associated Editor to the Sphinx. As Associated Editor, he had several articles published in the Sphinx Magazine assisting in branding the chapter. Dr. Rolle was succeeded by Said Sewell and Brother Sibert served as his Vice President for two terms. After the completion of Sewell’s administration, Brother Sibert became the third President of the chapter for two terms where Derek Smith served as Vice President during his first term and Antonio Burkes served as Vice President during his second term. Sibert’s administration was focused on continuing to nurture brotherhood, branding the chapter, and developing ways to increase the chapter’s coffers. Towards those ends, the chapter facilitated numerous fellowship events e.g. First Fridays at JR Crickets (this event served dual purposes i.e., a brotherhood event that the chapter opened to the community; thereby, also accomplishing the second purpose of branding the chapter in the community). Additionally, we hosted the first Gates Millennium Scholarship Informational in Carroll, Douglas, and Paulding Counties, which yielded the first Gates Scholar in the area; subsequently, positively impacting the community and branding the chapter. Further, the chapter hosted both a Gospel Musical Extravaganza and a Golf Tournament which expanded the chapter’s brand as well as increased the chapter’s coffers to assist with financing its philanthropic efforts. Within Alphadom, we continued to brand the chapter through our participation in Area, District, and national committees (Brother Sibert chaired the District Election Committee) and by winning both the District Chapter of the Year award and the District Brother of the Year award, which was won by Dr. Said Sewell. Brother Sibert is proud to say that during his administration, we truly exemplified the motto of our fraternity: First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58aa1446c534a5fdedbee9d1/1664740359238-E1BL6HOY0NKS0TBGSUAA/APAWhite.png Chapter Presidents - Brother Antoine Cater Term: 2013 - 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58aa1446c534a5fdedbee9d1/c6c5a22b-695d-4cb7-afb3-ed465b8db650/4DD13A5A-1124-45F9-8D09-6EBC1DB44788.png Chapter Presidents - Brother Dr. Mario Hairston Term: 2015 - 2018 Professionally, Brother Dr. Mario D.

There are several brothers within Rho Pi Lambda Chapter that Brother Turner would consider as mentors who have influenced him. The Rho Pi Lambda Chapter afforded Brother Turner the opportunity to develop in the fraternity at the right pace. Brother Turner is elated to begin this fraternal year with the theme: “A.L.L. IN” Alpha Leveraging our Leadership in the Community! Alpha Phi Alpha develops leaders so this excites Brother Turner because he knows that the great brothers of the Rho Pi Lambda Chapter will continue to rise in unprecedented ways for the Carroll, Douglas, and Paulding County service areas. The Rho Pi Lambda Chapter has made enormous strides under great leadership for many years from strengthening our brotherhood and reclamation, to being a voice and staple in the community. Executing on “A.L.L. IN” allows us to be a beacon for the communities we serve. This is done by providing at least one mandated national program in each county. Our brotherhood is stronger than ever and is impactful within our service area, but there is still work to do. The general office has called on us from all levels to educate, advocate, and mobilize for the mid-term elections and as you know we are still fighting against voter suppression and social injustices in our communities. Black men are still discounted when it comes to voting and are underrepresented. More of our kids should be thinking about college or technical school as opposed to dropping out of high school. We as Alpha Men have to help change this narrative. I am calling on my brothers of the Rho Pi Lambda Chapter to join me and go “A.L.L. IN” for our communities and show that Alpha Spirit! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58aa1446c534a5fdedbee9d1/1cfe19da-3f91-44fd-8ed5-9b25d9a78088/R.+Randolph+Frame.png Chapter Presidents - Brother Richard Randolph Term 2023 - Present Brother Richard L.
