Why
Lambda Chi?
What Is
Fraternity?
Fraternity-Lambda
Chi Alpha-is a very personal thing that will provide you a storehouse
of memories and experiences. Yet, it is much, much more.
Lambda
Chi Alpha is belonging.
When
you need someone to talk to, you will always find a brother who is
genuinely interested and who really cares about what happens to you.
You will find a brother who understands that you are only human and are
seeking to improve yourself in many ways. You will find a brother who
offers to help before you have a chance to ask.
Lambda
Chi Alpha is brotherhood.
In
a very real sense, the Fraternity creates a family relationship among
its members. It aims to bring together a group of young men who will be
congenial, loyal, and helpful to one another during some of the best
years of their lives-the college years. Thus Lambda Chi Alpha offers
its members the nearest possible equivalent to home that can be found
on the college campus, and these close ties often bind men in
friendships for life.
Lambda
Chi Alpha is equality.
Lambda
Chi Alpha was the first fraternity to abolish pledges when associate
membership replaced pledging in 1972. Since that time, associate
members have had full and equal rights in the chapter, including voting
privileges and the ability to hold office, attend all meetings and
functions, and wear the letters and regalia of the Fraternity. The
Fraternity replaced pledge education with fraternity education, which
dictates ongoing education for all members throughout their university
years. New members are integrated immediately into the chapter. A big
brother is assigned to each new member, and he teaches the essentials
of chapter operations to the new member. Each week throughout the
school year an educational session is held for all members. These
educational sessions are either internal (history, ritualism, risk
management, goal setting, recruitment skills, etc.) or external (study
skills, current topics, alcoholism, date rape, CPR, etc.).
