Lambda's Promise,
A bold way to a better world.
5 Pillars
Lambda Chi Alpha’s pillars help us stand tall. They are the unique attributes that collectively combine to establish our point of difference.
Timeless Leadership
From the first day, we believe new members of Lambda Chi must be treated as equals and are entitled to the full rights and privileges afforded to any member. We foster this equality through a culture that emphasizes enduring relationships, strong mentorship and intensive instruction in our history, values and code of conduct.
Equal Membership
We welcome new brothers for the men they are and the leaders they will become. From foreign wars to civil unrest, we believe that the men of Lambda Chi are leaders who have and always will rise to the occasion. We also recognize that because every generation faces unique challenges, their struggles, perspectives and solutions are not identical. Despite these differences, we celebrate the diversity of our thoughts, perspectives and solutions and regard all men of Lambda Chi as incredible men of consequence.
Total Health
We revere physical, mental and social health as a critical component of brotherhood and leadership. As a brotherhood, we work to instill lifelong habits of health in all of our members, young and old. As leaders and ambassadors of Lambda Chi, we believe that embracing total health also means ensuring, promoting and upholding the health and safety of ourselves and others.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We embrace all young men, regardless of background and differences, so long as they are men of virtue that are willing to lead and live by our code of ethics. We desire our members to feel comfortable being their authentic whole selves. We also believe that character is derived not only from what we cherish but also from that which we do not tolerate. As a fraternity that values diversity, pursues equity and honors inclusion, we condemn any actions of racism, misogyny and discrimination.
Strength Through Service
Devotion to public service is a true testament to the temperament of every man and leader. Every member of Lambda Chi has something to give to help improve his community, whether it is time, skills or resources. We believe that sacrifices borne from service build character and strength in the men who bear them.
