Welcome : Steps 1-7

What It Means to Be a Founding Father

You’re a Lambda Chi Alpha Founding Father; What does that mean?


You have joined a network of more than 300,000 men.

Joining Lambda Chi Alpha opens you to a vast network of alumni brothers who are leaders in their communities, professions, and on their campuses. Take advantage of your Lambda Chi Alpha experience to reach outside of your campus and to meet older brothers; you might even find a mentor in the process.


You have committed to something that is bigger than yourself.

From the day you sign your bid to the day you die, you will be representing Lambda Chi Alpha. You have committed yourself to Lambda Chi Alpha and to living its values each day. Remember that your actions, inactions, and things you say do not only reflect you, but the Brothers and Associate Members you have affiliated with. Be sure that the choices you make and the things you say reflect our seven core values and put yourself and Lambda Chi Alpha in a positive light.


You have dared to be a trailblazer.

It takes personal courage to step out of the established and start something new. By joining this colony, you are doing just that. You have dared to do the hard work of establishing the foundation of a new fraternity. It is going to be hard work and at times the colony may even struggle, but through hard work and commitment you are going to achieve a long-lasting legacy that sets the standards for what it means to be a Lambda Chi Alpha on your campus; thousands of men are going to be following your example.


You say said yes to excellence.

“Pure, high, and ever-growing” is a line from Lambda Chi Alpha’s creed. Each time we say this line we are committing to self-improvement, to personal growth, and to pushing each other to strive for the same. As a member of Lambda Chi Alpha, you are going to have the opportunity to grow through leadership roles, valuable education, and the experience of founding a new chapter; these will shape you into a better citizen, employee, partner, and hopefully human being. Take full advantage of these experiences.


Get ready for some fun.

Ten years from now after you graduate, move on to your career, and begin your next big adventures, you will fondly look back on your collegiate experience. Lambda Chi Alpha is going to be a big part of those memories- most of which will be fun, hilarious, and consist of your best friends and brothers. Get ready to make some of these memories starting today.
