The New Epsilon-Eta Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha Contribution Plan
You were once an active brother in Lambda Chi Alpha so you certainly understand the need for alumni to be active in volunteering, coming back to the house and contributing. We encourage you to remember Lambda Chi Alpha in your yearly philanthropic options. Even the smallest amount will help the house create a closer connection with the alumni and the active brothers.

The new Epsilon-Eta Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha Contribution Plan allows alumni to specify specific location to designate their cash gift to LXA. These new designations allow you to contribute to what your special connection is with Lambda Chi Alpha. Yearly contributions will run from July 1 – June 30.

The Charter Room & House Archive room is completed. Thank you to those that contributed towards the project, we couldn’t have done it without you.

The project transformed the third floor room that was built as part of the new renovation to the House Library into a space that stores and displays all archives, plaques, and memorabilia.

Alumni are always welcome to the house, but if you are back on campus be sure to stop in! We encourage you to see the completed 2nd and 3rd floors – both are a great addition to our house and our brotherhood.
