The Spring 2026 issue of Cross & Crescent explores how Brotherhood continues to shape leaders, strengthen Chapters, and create lifelong impact. From our cover story on Tim Gerend (Butler, ’93) and the leadership lessons that guided his rise to Chairman, President, and CEO of Northwestern Mutual, to stories of Undergraduate Members and Chapters transforming their campuses through service, resilience, and purpose, this issue highlights Lambda Chi Alpha at its best.
You will also read about Augie Pabst (Tennessee–Knoxville, ’26) turning service into a movement through blood drives and community partnerships, Dillon Sullivan (High Point, ’26) leading with purpose while living with type 1 diabetes, and Chapters at the University of New Hampshire and California State University, Northridge demonstrating the power of perseverance, values, and authentic Brotherhood.
The issue also reflects on the Fraternity’s role in addressing the “male friendship recession,” the momentum of the 2026 High Zeta Summit, and the continued growth of Lambda Chi Alpha across North America.
