Why Lambda?


WE WIN!

What are you known for?  How do you like to live?  For Lambda Chi Alpha, the answer is the same…we are an active and competitive fraternity striving for success!  Have you ever been part of a winning tradition?  We are…and we love it!  Curious?  Meet us!  (click here)  Out of State?…no problem…let’s talk by phone!

Sports…our members are part of the OSU Wrestling, Rugby, Waterpolo, and Crew (Rowing) teams as well as active members of the ROTC Community.  If Intramurals are more your thing, our chapter fields several teams in each sport. Over the last three years, we’ve won multiple championships in Bowling, Waterpolo, Golf, Wiffleball, Wheelchair Basketball, Football, Softball, and Co-ed Stadium Football.  Fortunately, if you want to play, our chapter pays for all the costs.  

Events… many groups, including Lambda Chi Alpha, sponsor campus-wide philanthropies or events.  Mock Rock (air guitar), Anchorsplash (Swim Meet), Iron Brawl (Flag Football) and OSU Sing are the biggest and we’ve won or placed second in all of them in the last few years.  These are fun events that get all the fraternities and sororities together.  Our own event, Watermelon Bash/CaddyShack’d raises money to feed the hungry of Linn-Benton Counties.  We were even recognized by the Community Outreach Inc (COI) for donating over 1 Million meals!! Programs… internationally we are one of the most recognized chapters within Lambda Chi Alpha.  With over 200 chapters in North America, our OSU chapter is one of the top chapters of Lambda Chi Alpha winning several awards annually including The President’s Trophy (only presented by chapters excelling in all programming for three years in a row).  And we’ve won every year we are eligible. Scholarships… Lambda’s scholastic endowment is one of the largest of OSU fraternities and annually awards close to $50,000 in grants and scholarships to our own members.  Academically, our GPA is typically over the all-men’s average and the all-fraternity average each term.

Want to fit in right away?  Lambda is one of the ONLY fraternities that do not have “pledges”.  Our new members are called Associate Members and they can sit in all chapter business meetings, get a full vote and can even hold office.  All of our members are part of organizations on campus and serve in student government, campus leadership, Outstanding Students (in their colleges), been selected for Homecoming Court, etc. We believe in accepting you as you are and welcome adding your strengths to ours!
