It's Good to Learn Something New Everyday


So I was sitting with a new friend the other day, when I was challenged to do some research about something that I had made all sorts of judgements about, and didnt even take the time to eliminate the cliche'

FRATERNITIES!

There was a specific one that he has been apart of and so I felt pretty interested in seeing what Lambda Chi Alpha was all about.

It was the first fraternity to abolish pledging and remains a leader in the fight against hazing, alcohol abuse, and other challenges facing today's college students.

Lambda Chi Alpha seeks to promote higher education by providing opportunities for academic achievement, leadership, and lifelong friendships.... which is something that my friend was so excited about. He is able to travel all over the country and will always have some of his brothers to join him or that he will stay with. I mean, afterall, it is one of the largest men's general fraternities in North America, by its own count, having initiated more than 268,000 members and held chapters at more than 300 universities!

Lovely Core Values
Loyalty
Duty
Respect
Service and Stewardship
Honor
Integrity
Personal Courage

I have to say that this fraternity is a lot different than the ones i've heard of. Sounds really cool
