How to Start a Lambda Chi Alpha Chapter at Your School

What is Lambda Chi Alpha?

Lambda Chi Alpha is a social fraternity based on timeless precepts. Our purpose is to cultivate a progressive environment at every chapter that will allow men to become better men through the help their fellow man. Through the environment of a close knit brotherhood of diverse members, Lambda Chi Alpha strives to give its men a developmental framework to mature and to become men capable of bettering society. We strive to provide a co-curricular program that will help our brothers improve their skills in leadership, socialization, scholarship, and more! As a brotherhood we strive for perfection in the classroom, as well as, within our relationships between our families, brothers, and society as a whole. While perfection is not actually possible to achieve, we believe that the journey will create the kind of men that can change the world. These men are men of Lambda Chi Alpha.

Top Five Reasons to Choose Lambda Chi Alpha:

1. Associate Membership & Full Inclusiveness — Lambda Chi Alpha believes in the value of every human being.  This is reflected in our open motto, “Vir Quisque Vir” which translated means “Every Man a Man.”  In 1972, Lambda Chi Alpha became the first fraternity to abolish pledgeship and replaced it with Associate Membership.  Associate Membership grants new members full rights of membership, including the right to vote and hold office.  We believe that the Associate Member program create a sense of equality amongst its members which allows all our brothers to become better men, rather than be degraded by older members and tradition.
2. TRUE Brother Initiative & Programming — The TRUE Brother Initiative is Lambda Chi Alpha’s educational platform.  Focusing on developmental areas including: empathy, self awareness, capacity for intimacy, altruism, self esteem, and more.  The TRUE Brother Initiative has shown that a member of Lambda Chi Alpha is statistically more emotionally aware of himself and others, such as, family members and classmates.  As a result, a Lambda Chi Alpha brother has a greater capacity to support and assist his fellow man.  In summation, the TRUE Brother Initiative helps you become a better man, which will help you be a better friend, brother, husband, and father.  Click this link if you would like to learn more:TRUE Brother Initiative.
3. Initiation Ritual & Exoteric Mysteries — Lambda Chi Alpha takes a progressive approach to Pre-Initiation and incorporating values based ritualism.  We believe that ritualism has served an important purpose throughout history.  Rituals help bring people together and to remind us all of important truths.  Based on Christian Principles, our Initiation Ritual and Exoteric Mysteries are sure to offer you a fond appreciation of ritualism.  This ritualism will help you see the strengths of a brotherhood when its at its highest and can help you understand more about yourself.
4. Focus on Growth — Lambda Chi Alpha is one of the first/only fraternities to offer continued growth opportunities for Initiated Brothers.  In most fraternities, the education process stops after a member is initiated.  However, Lambda Chi Alpha has created the Inner Circle Journey, which allows Initiated Brothers to continue their growth through different experiences, reflections, and Ritualistic teachings.  As a Lambda Chi, your journey will never be over, you will always be encouraged to grow and receive more out of your fraternity experience.
5. Our Values — Lambda Chi Alpha has Seven Core Values which have helped our brothers find growth and become leaders in business, academia, government, ministry, and more!  However, through the Lambda Chi Alpha experience you will learn much more than LDRSHIP, you will have opportunities to gain understanding in other Christian principles such as truth, justice, faith, hope, and love, all of which, work together to create a well rounded man.
