Belonging

Your Brotherhood Begins the Day You Find Your Home Here

At Lambda Chi Alpha, you don’t have to wait until Initiation to belong. From the moment you become an Associate Member, you have the rights and privileges of membership, including the ability to vote, hold office, and fully participate in Chapter life.

THE ASSOCIATE MEMBER DIFFERENCE

Equal From Day One

In 1972, Lambda Chi Alpha abolished pledging and introduced Associate Membership. Instead of asking new members to earn their place through a separate pledge experience, we welcome each Associate Member into the life of the Chapter from the beginning.

  • One Chapter
    Associate Members learn, serve, and build lifelong friendships alongside initiated Brothers. They are part of the Chapter from day one.
  • An Equal Voice
    Associate Members can vote, hold office, and contribute to the decisions and direction of their Chapter.
  • Shared Growth and Responsibility
    Fraternity education, expectations, and Chapter responsibilities are shared by every member. Development continues throughout college and beyond.
MEMBER PERSPECTIVE

What Belonging Means to Our Members

I love Lambda Chi because I have been mentored and poured into to become the man I currently am, as well as Lambda Chi giving me the opportunity to give back and do the same for others.
