The Story
Lambda Chi Alpha
Get to Know Us
In 1909, the founder of Lambda ChiAlpha dared to create a new kind of brotherhood. A brotherhood bringing together all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. A brotherhood relieving men from personal loneliness and fears.A brotherhood where men could lean on each other and lift each other up. And a brotherhood that could advocate for causes with an unwavering will.
More than a hundred years later, the standards Warren A. Cole set for himself and others continue to endure. Today, Lambda Chi brings these resolute ideals to a modern legacy—one of loyalty, courage, and focus. On our college campuses, we empower men to become better versions of themselves and find their reason for being.
The Lambda Chi way doesn’t stop at developing character in college men. It continues with each of us, no matter where we go and in everything we do. It’s with us whether we lead a company, take the stage, or serve the community. It’s with us when we support our employees, friends, and neighbors and when we care for our family.
The journey of a man’s lifetime is thestory of humanity. It’s the highs and lows of overcoming adversity, challenging complacency, and asking more of himself and everyone around him. Each brother brings us closer to bettering the world, and humanity as we know it. And our legacy deepens when each generation then equips even more young men to redefine who we are and who we can be for others.
