About Lambda Chi Alpha

Lambda Chi Alpha was founded in 1909 by Warren A. Cole at Boston University. Today, it is the third largest men's general fraternity in North American with more than 270,000 initiated members and has held chapters at more than 300 universities.

It was the first fraternity to eliminate pledging and remains a leader in the fight against hazing, alcohol abuse, and other challenges facing today's college student. Lambda Chi Alpha serves to complement higher education by providing opportunities for academic achievement, leadership development, and lifelong friendships.

 

The Creed of Lambda Chi Alpha

We believe in Lambda Chi Alpha, and its traditions, principles, and ideals. The crescent is our symbol— pure, high, and ever growing; and the cross is our guide—denoting service, sacrifice, and even suffering and humiliation before the world, bravely endured if need be, in following that ideal.

May we have faith in Lambda Chi Alpha and passion for its welfare. May we have hope for the future of Lambda Chi Alpha and strength to fight for its teachings. May we have pure hearts, that we may approach the ideal of perfect brotherly love.

 

Associate Member Program

Lambda Chi Alpha was the first college fraternity to end the practice of pledging, replacing it with the associate member program. Associate Members (AM) of Lambda Chi Alpha are entitled to all of the rights and privileges of an initiated member. AMs do not have separate chapter meetings or officers. Associate members are even permitted to run for officer positions (with High Phi being an exemption).

 

 

True Brother Identity - Seven Core Values

Loyalty 

Unswerving allegiance to the organization and its laws, ideals and defining principles prevents us from misplacing out loyalties

Duty 

Delineates the sum total of all laws, rules, and customs that make up our organizational, civic, and moral obligations

Respect 

Denotes the regard and recognition of the absolute dignity that every human possesses, and indicates compassion and sensitivity to the feelings and needs of others

Service and Stewardship 

Signifies the proper perspective that the welfare of the Fraternity and our broader communities come before the individual’s; Stewardship is the holding of something of value in trust for others

Honor 

Circumscribes the complex of all values that comprise the public code of the individual while providing for action and adherence to a public moral code

Integrity 

Encompasses the sum total of a person’s private moral code—breaching any of these would damage this person’s integrity

Personal Courage 

Depicts the premier virtue that enables us to take responsibility and to persevere despite fear, danger, or adversity
