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.
