Whether you’re a new Member, current Undergraduate Brother, Alumnus or Volunteer, there are multiple ways you can finish setting up your FSID and gain access to myLambdaChi. It’s important for you to know which email address the Office of Administration has on file for you so you can properly match your account and set up your new login credentials. 

Method #1: Email Invitation

When we launched myLambdaChi, every Member, Volunteer and alumnus received a welcome email to set up their account. The email would’ve come from membership@lambdachi.org with the subject line “Welcome to myLambdaChi” or “Finish Your myLambdaChi Registration”. This is the same email a new member receives upon being reported to the Office of Administration through myLambdaChi. Once you locate the email, follow these steps to setup your account for the first time:

1. Use the email address you received the email at to register for FSID. This will be your login to the portal from now on and matches what Office of Administration has on file for your primary email address.
2. Click the button in the email to open FSID and confirm your email address. This button contains your unique link and should not be shared with others.
3. After inputting a few details on the website, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Follow that link to set your password.
4. Once in myLambdaChi you can click on the chapter selector in the top right part of the screen and choose the Chapter you would like to enter. This will get you into the chapter’s specific portal!
5. After initially creating your FSID credentials, you should use the following URL to login to myLambdaChi://myLambdaChi.org/

Method #2: Invitation from a Chapter Officer (for Undergraduates)

If your undergraduate brothers are unable to find the original invitation email or if their invitation has expired, chapter officers can resend their “portal invitation” easily through the chapter roster in myLambdaChi. To send myLambdaChi portal invitations:

1. Select your chapter from the group selector in the top right corner next to your name. If you are an undergraduate member, you will see your chapter name. If you are a volunteer, you may see more than one selection.
2. Select “Roster” from the chapter portal page.
3. NEW: Click on “Views” and select the “Not logged into myLambdaChi” view to see only those members who have yet to finish their registration. 
4. Find the person you need to send an invitation to, select multiple by checking the box beside their card, or select all using the checkbox towards the top of the page.
5. Click the actions button dropdown and select “Send myLambdaChi Invites”.

Those members that have already logged into myLambdaChi will not receive an additional email to login to the portal. If individuals have previously logged in and are having trouble, they’ll need to reset their passwords through fsid.org. For additional support, email membership@lambdachi.org.

Method #3: Find Account Manually at myLambdaChi

If either of the methods above have failed, you can attempt to match your account manually by clicking “Sign Up” at myLambdaChi.org. This method requires you to know the email address that Lambda Chi has on file for you. If someone you know has already successfully logged in, they can help you identify this address by searching for your name in the directory and letting you know the email address that’s on file. To find your account manually, follow these steps:

1. Go to myLambdaChi.org
2. Click “Sign Up”
3. Fill out the information to the best of your ability using your first name and last name that was provided to Lambda Chi when you first joined the fraternity or began volunteering, the email address we have on file for you, the chapter you’re affiliated with (if applicable) and your birthday.
4. If the system is able to find your record in our database automatically, you’ll receive a confirmation email with next steps on setting your password and logging in. If your account was unable to be automatically found, a member of the Headquarters staff will receive an alert and be in touch with you in 24-72 hours to resolve the issue. 

NOTE: This is not how you register new members. New members must first be reported by a chapter officer in myLambdaChi. New members that attempt to go through this method, but have not yet been reported by an officer will not be able to be matched to a record and will not be able to access myLambdaChi.

Your potential new member list is now built into myLambdaChi – meaning, no more spreadsheets or lost contacts! And we know recruitment is a chapter-wide activity, so anyone in the chapter can add a potential new member to the list! To add a new potential new member:

1. Find your chapter name next to your first and last name in the top right of the screen.
2. Select your chapter and several icons should appear. Click the “Recruitment” icon to be taken to the potential new member list.
3. Click “Add Potential New Members” in the top right to be taken to a spreadsheet view where you can add one or several PNMs at once.

NOTE: Required information to add a PNM includes first name and last name; optional fields include Snapchat or Instagram handles, notes and a lead owner. To report that PNM as a brother, you must also include his email and phone number. 

Once he’s been added to your potential new member list, you can move him through your pipeline by dragging and dropping his card into the correct category, or by clicking the settings button on the right side of his card and selecting the correct status. After he’s accepted his invitation to join your chapter, reporting him as a new member has never been easier – just click the purple “Report” button at the top of the Bid Extended category and he’ll be added to your chapter roster as a brother. 

Lambda Chi uses Fraternity-Sorority ID (FSID) for its single-sign-on system for myLambdaChi and Greekbill. Users can use their same login credentials to access all three apps, if applicable. To change your FSID username or password, follow these instructions:

1. Go to fsid.org
2. Click the “Login to FSID” button and enter the same credentials you use to log into myLambdaChi
3. Click “Profile” to change your username, which is in the format of an email address, then “Change Email”. Click “Security” to change your password. 

It is your responsibility to keep your chapter’s roster up to date at all times, so we’ve made maintaining it easy through myLambdaChi. After you report new members, they’ll automatically appear on your roster as brothers. There are four membership statuses (alumnus, transfer, resigned or expelled) that you can switch them to depending on their circumstances, and the instructions below will help you gather the information you need to update it. Physical paperwork is no longer required to update a member’s status to resigned or expelled and should be updated directly in myLambdaChi by a chapter officer. If any change is made in error, email membership@lambdachi.org to resolve the error.

*NEW* Updating Statuses in Bulk

A new feature in myLambdaChi allows you to update contacts’ statuses in bulk. This may be helpful at the end of the year when you’re updating multiple members to alumnus status after graduating. To change multiple statuses at the same time:

1. Login to myLambdaChi and select your chapter from the group selector in the top right corner
2. Click the roster icon and select the brothers you wish to update by clicking on their names. A green checkmark will appear over their card to indicate they have been selected.
3. From the “Actions” dropdown in the top left, select “Update Contacts’ Status”
4. Select the new status for these contacts. Refer to the instructions below for the statuses you are able to change a brother to.
5. Click the card below the selected status that should read: “Brother → {New Status} [X contacts]”
6. From here, answer the applicable questions and click “Apply to All” or select individual contacts below to customize answers. For example, if you’re updating multiple members after graduation, but they have different graduation dates, you may need to customize individuals’ answers before submitting the request.
7. Click the “Change Status” button to confirm the new status. Depending on the number of contacts you selected to change, it may take a few moments for the system to process. 

Balances of funds held by the Lambda Chi Educational Foundation are now available to view in myLambdaChi. Each quarter, the previous quarter’s fund activity will be uploaded for your convenience. This page is also where you can request funds for scholarships, program sponsorships, grants, reimbursements and withdrawals.

Keep in mind – some Lambda Chi Educational Foundation funds operate like a checking account, with the full balance available for immediate use, while others are endowments with XX% of the fund’s 12 Quarter Rolling Average available for use. If you have questions about your fund’s distribution policy, please view the details of your fund on myLambdaChi.

Chapter Funds

To view Chapter-related funds, you must be a member of the alumni and volunteer corporation. To find funds, follow these instructions:

1. Select the fund from the group selector in the top right corner
2. Select the “Funds Dashboard” button to view the Chapter’s scholarship funds, available scholarship amounts, and fund details.
3. Select either the “Foundation Funds” button to view Lambda Chi Educational Foundation funds.

The “Fund Balance as of XX/XX/20XX” column will show you the most recent reported quarter’s ending balance. Click the “Request Funds” button to request a disbursement from Chapter funds.

Click the “View Fund Details” button to view a fund’s Quarterly Fund Activity reports, fund impact information and previous award recipients.

For Lambda Chi Educational Foundation funds only, the “Fiscal Year Amount Available” column will show you, based on whether the fund is set up as an endowment or not, the amount of money you’re able to request from that fund this fiscal year.

For Lambda Chi Educational Foundation funds only, click the “View Donors” button to view a list of donors and gifts to a fund during this fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).

Requesting Funds

Requesting funds has never been easier! In myLambdaChi, there’s a button to request funds directly from one of your funds held at the Lambda Chi Educational Foundation. This feature is available to all members.

1. Login to myLambdaChi
2. Select the fund you’d like to view 
3. Click the “Funds Dashboard” button
4. Click the “Foundation Funds”
5. To the right of the fund you wish to request scholarships, grants, program sponsorships, reimbursements or disbursements from, you can click the “Request Funds” button.
6. From here, you will complete the form.

After completing the form for a scholarship request, you’ll receive a confirmation email when the request is received AND when the request has been finalized and the check is on the way!

Newly Established Funds

If you’ve recently consolidated multiple funds or established a new fund, you may not see it in your AVC Funds Dashboard until next quarter. Fund balances are reported on a quarterly basis approximately 45-60 days after the quarter’s close. If you don’t yet see the fund, it means there is no fund performance activity to show yet. Reach out to foundation@lambdachi.org if you have questions about transfers or donations.

Donor-Created Funds

Some donors have established funds with the Lambda Chi Educational Foundation, and they can view the performance of those funds via myLambdaChi.
