What Is Fraternity?
Fraternity-Lambda Chi Alpha-is a very personal thing that will provide you a storehouse of memories and experiences.
Yet, it is much, much more.
Lambda Chi Alpha is belonging.
When you need someone to talk to, you will always find a brother who is genuinely interested and who really cares about what happens to you. You will find a brother who understands that you are only human and are seeking to improve yourself in many ways. You will find a brother who offers to help before you have a chance to ask.
Lambda Chi Alpha is brotherhood.
In a very real sense, the Fraternity creates a family relationship among its members. It aims to bring together a group of young men who will be congenial, loyal, and helpful to one another during some of the best years of their lives-the college years. Thus Lambda Chi Alpha offers its members the nearest possible equivalent to home that can be found on the college campus, and these close ties often bind men in friendships for life.
Lambda Chi Alpha's Policy on Hazing.
Hazing has absolutely no place in Lambda Chi Alpha. However, Lambda Chi Alpha's definition of hazing and harassment activities - activities which are not permitted under any circumstances - is the most broad among all fraternities. In Lambda Chi Alpha, hazing is defined as "any action taken or situation created intentionally to produce physical discomfort or mental discomfort by embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule." Additionally, Lambda Chi Alpha considers pledgeship hazing, and pledgeship hazing is a program which dwells on the separation of initiated membersand pledges with a primary emphasis on subservience. Within our definition of hazing, separation between associate members and initiates is not allowed because an associate versus initiate concept is in direct conflict with the goal of fraternity education and Lambda Chi Alpha. The key is unity. Hazing is degrading, dangerous, and contrary to that which our Fraternity stands. It serves no useful purpose, is criticized by all thoughtful persons, and is extremely poor public relations. You may already be aware that this concept and our fraternity education program are unique am ong fraternities, although some fraternities on campus may have similarities. You may also be aware of pledges of other fraternities who must undergo a period of "pledge training" or "pledge education" before being permitted to participate fully in the af fairs of the fraternity. And, there are pledge activities that may be common in other fraternities but which are not allowed in Lambda Chi Alpha:
• No separate meetings for associate members. No tests or quizzes of associate members. No separate dress codes for associate members. No separate work responsibilities for associate members. No associate member "class officers." No kidnapping of any members. No walk-outs, associate member retreats, or other activities which separate the associate members from initiates. No verbal or physical abuse of members by other members.
• No use of the term "class" or the function of a class system within the chapter.
