Lambda Chi
Alpha is a social
fraternity, founded upon
Christian principles and
ideals at Boston University
in 1909. There are 221
chapters of Lambda Chi Alpha
and 4 colonies in 47 states
and 3 provinces in Canada
with over 230,000 initiates
nationally, making Lambda
Chi the third largest
national fraternity. The
chapter here began as a
local, secret organization
known as the Polytechnic
Institute Experimental
Science Fraternity, or the
P.I.E.S. In 1925 this group
affiliated on a national
basis when it joined Theta
Kappa Nu, which eventually
became the present day Theta
Kappa Zeta of Lambda Chi
Alpha when Lambda Chi Alpha
and Theta Kappa Nu merged in
1939. The continued goal of
Lambda Chi Alpha is to help
each man reach his full
potential and instill in him
the ideals that are the
substance of a well-rounded
character. In order to
accomplish this, Lambda Chi
strives diligently to remain
one of the most active
chapters on campus both
socially and in relation to
community service and
brother involvement. The
brothers of Theta Kappa Zeta
feel that fraternal life has
much to offer the
Rose-Hulman student and are
very proud to be a part of
Rose-Hulman's Greek system. |
