Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity

At the 60th General Assembly, a new award was presented: The Order of the Lion.

Congratulations to our Order of Merit and Order of Achievement recipients! 🏆

Since 1935, Lambda Chi Alpha has elected Members into the Order of Merit. These individuals have dedicated much of their time, energy and talent to better the Fraternity at the local Chapter level.

The Lambda Chi Alpha Order of Achievement Award was first established in 1958 to honor Members who have distinguished themselves by achieving outstanding success in the fields of business, industry, military, politics, the arts, science, sports, or other professions.

Their accomplishments bring honor to Lambda Chi Alpha and serve as an inspiration to their Brothers. These men represent the Fraternity’s ideals in action and serve as an example for undergraduate Brothers who are preparing to step out into the world.

Happy Independence Day from Lambda Chi Alpha! 🇺🇸

We wish everyone a safe and festive holiday.

The Iota-Phi Zeta at High Point University recently celebrated its 70th Anniversary.

On the serene High Point University campus, an innovative spirit is engrained in every aspect of the student experience. Boasting their own spirit aligned with the greater universities’, the Lambda Chi Alpha chapter holds a robust history of developing leaders & innovators both inside of our fraternity & externally in countless industries.

Perhaps even more remarkably, the brotherhood has succeeded in cultivating a genuine community & bond that has persisted throughout generations that stands strong today.

The father/son bond is a special blend of mentorship, guidance and friendship. For those who get to experience it, having shared Membership in Lambda Chi Alpha allows father and son to appreciate their bond on a deeper level.

In honor of Father's Day last weekend, The Lynch, Prout, Jackson and Witous families shared their journeys through their familial and Brother bond in Lambda Chi Alpha.

Today, we honor and celebrate Juneteenth, a significant day in American history.

As we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, we recognize this day as we strive to respect our Brothers and friends and follow the teachings of Lambda Chi Alpha to lead ethical lives of growth, service, and leadership.

Congratulations to these four Chapters for earning an LED Badge!

🟢 Minnesota State University - Mankato
🟢 South Dakota State University
🟢 University at Buffalo
🟢 Franklin College

Each Chapter had 5 individual completions of a Stead Leadership College track and 80% of their Chapter Membership completed Ideal Man 1 & 2!

By completing a badge in Stead Leadership College, Members learn valuable skills not only for their current or future leadership position in the Fraternity, but skills to use in their post-graduate life.

Keep up the great work! The LED Badge Challenge ends June 30.

Happy Father's Day!

Shoutout to all the Lambda Chi Dads out there. We couldn't do this without you! 🤟

In 2023, Lambda Chi Alpha officially partnered with the American Red Cross. Together, through 35 blood drives across 11 states, our Chapters have donated 1,571 units of blood, saving an estimated 4,713 lives.

The demand for blood donations is relentless and even more pressing during the summer months when many universities are not in session, leading to fewer blood drives. This is where we need your help.

We are seeking dedicated Alumni Brothers like you to step up and host blood drives during the summer. The requirements are simple:
🟢 1,500 square foot room at your business office
🟢 Support in advertising and recruiting donors

Imagine the impact you could make in your local community. Hosting a blood drive not only helps those in urgent need, but also fosters camaraderie and strengthens our bonds as Brothers committed to serving others.

If you are interested in hosting a blood drive with the American Red Cross or would like more information, please reach out to our Partnership Engagement Specialist at [email protected]. Together, we can continue to be a force for good.

Happy ! 🇺🇸

Today we honor the adoption of the American flag on June 14, 1777, a symbol of our nation's unity and ideals. Proud to celebrate this historic day alongside the Lambda Chi Alpha flag, both representing our commitment to brotherhood, service, and leadership. 🤟

Last week, Brother Evan Siers (Southeast Missouri State University) and a few of his coworkers saved a woman's life after she collapsed at a Costco.

Siers and coworkers sprung into action by performing CPR and using an AED to save the woman's life.

We are proud to call Siers a Brother and commend him for his courage and action in this situation.

Manchester Costco employees recognized for saving shopper’s life An ordinary shopping trip at Costco in Ballwin turned into a life-or-death situation when Catherine Huerta suddenly collapsed and her heart stopped.

On June 9, 1924, delegates from 11 local fraternities from nine different states united in Springfield, Missouri to form Theta Kappa Nu fraternity.

In 1939, Theta Kappa Nu and Lambda Chi Alpha formed a union in what was regarded as the largest combined fraternity to date.

As part of the union, Lambda Chi Alpha adopted the white tudor rose and the open motto "Vir Quisque Vir", or "Every man a man" from Theta Kappa Nu.

Today, we can still see Theta Kappa Nu shine through in our Coat of Arms, Associate Member Pin, and Associate Member Ceremony.

Today, Lambda Chi Alpha celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Theta Kappa Nu Fraternity.

Lambda Chi’s Magnificent Seven

In January, Neville Advisor's College established a new support network for our Chapter Advisors. Led by seven veteran advisors, we established peer cohorts that meet monthly to cover success metrics, insurance, GPA, and payment platforms.

We cannot thank you enough for your leadership, selfless efforts, and belief in ensuring Chapters succeed. To Rodney Roosevelt (Eastern Illinois), Caleb Chapman (Tarleton State), Brian Joyce (Eastern Kentucky), Wally Jenkins (New Hampshire), Colin Nelson-Pinkston (Iowa), Greg Wright (Michigan), and Eric Berger (Boston), you really are, Lambda Chi’s Magnificent Seven!

We are saddened to share that Brother Keith Marco (Cal Poly) passed away on June 5. Brother Marco was a junior food science major and a member of the Cal Poly football team.

We are keeping Brother Marcos family and the Phi-Sigma Zeta Brothers in our thoughts during this tough time.

Go live like Keith: spread kindness, help those in need, and chase your passions.

As Brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha, our Members are taught the importance of servant leadership and what it means to be pillars in the community. Whether that is through events benefitting Movember or hosting a blood drive, our Brothers are continuing to find unique ways to make a difference.

For the Brothers at the Epsilon-Iota Chapter at the University of Nevada-Reno (UNR), service comes in the form of head shaving events in partnership with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

The Indianapolis 500 (Indy 500), the pinnacle of motor racing known for its rich history of over 100 years and thrilling spectacle, has been a significant chapter in the lives of many Lambda Chi Alpha Brothers.

George Spasyk, Lambda Chi Alpha CEO from 1968 to 1990, laid the foundation for the connection between Lambda Chi Alpha and the Indy 500 to grow. Spasyk opened his home to many Lambda Chi Alumni and family, Colleagues in the Greek Space, and friends. His hospitality and enthusiasm for the race created a welcoming environment for all those that joined him.
