About
Us
Our General Fraternity
Lambda Chi Alpha was founded
by Warren A. Cole, while a
student at Boston University, on November
2, 1909; with the expressed objective purpose of bringing
about the association together of college students of
good moral character in the various collegiate institutions
within the United States and Canada; to foster a high
Christian standard of life and ideals, to promote honorable
friendship, to cultivate intellectual excellence, to
secure for members the greatest advantages in college
life, to establish brotherly love, mutual aid, close
personal connection between alumni, undergraduates and
college, and to bind them together for mutual pleasure
and interest in college as well as after life by testing
each with courage, self-control, obedience, democracy
and courtesy toward all with whom the may come in contact.
Where
we are today
 Today, Lambda Chi Alpha International Fraternity is
one of the largest men's general fraternities in North
America with more than 227,000 initiated members and
has held subsidiaries (called chapters) at more than
300 universities. It was the first fraternity to eliminate
pledging and remains a leader in the fight against hazing,
alcohol abuse, and other challenges facing today's college
student. Lambda Chi Alpha serves to complement higher
education by providing opportunities for academic achievement,
leadership development, and lifelong friendships.

Our Creed
We believe in Lambda Chi Alpha, and its traditions,
principles and ideals. The crescent is our symbol; pure,
high ever growing, and the cross is our guide; denoting
service, sacrifice, and even suffering and humiliation
before the world, bravely endured if need be, in following
that ideal. May we have faith in Lambda Chi Alpha and
passion for its welfare. May we have hope for the future
of Lambda Chi Alpha and strength to fight for its teachings.
May we have pure hearts, that we may approach the ideal
of perfect brotherly love
