Why Lambdas?
Why Lambdas? Lambda Phi Epsilon is an organization that will challenge every
aspect of your college life. You will learn how to become a leader in your school,
your community and in the world you enter after college. Lambda life extends
far beyond the reach of your school. With chapters across the country,
you will have a chance to network with brothers from all over, bringing with
it many opportunities, both during your time as an active and when you become
an alumni. The road to becoming a Lambda is not easy, but the rewards
are well worth it. It takes a certain type of man to become a Lambda,
someone who wants to become a leader among men. Perhaps that's you.
What is Rush?
Rush is a period at the beginning of the semester when anyone interested
in Lambda Phi Epsilon or Greek life in general can come to our events to meet
brothers and learn more about the fraternity. Contrary to popular belief, coming
out to rush does not commit you to anything at all. You do NOT have to
attend all events to be able to join the fraternity. The only thing we
expect from our rushees is that they have a good time at our events.
Along the way, we hope they will also meet the brothers and learn more about
the values of the fraternity.
Do I Have To Be Asian To Join?
While we are an Asian-American Interest Fraternity,
there are brothers all over the country with ethnicities other than Asian.
You do not have to be Asian to come to rush events and you do not have
to be Asian to join Lambda Phi Epsilon. Everyone is invited.
National Connections
Lambda Phi Epsilon is a nationally recognized fraternity.
Therefore, you will have brothers and connections in states from California,
Washington, Texas, and Michigan, all the way to New York, Maryland, Georgia,
and Toronto. If you ever visit any of the 42 and growing chapters Lambda Phi
Epsilon has in the United States, you will always have a place to stay and people
to take you around.
Lambda Phi Epsilon also has many close ties with sororities such as alpha Kappa
Delta Phi, Sigma Omicron Pi, and Kappa Phi Lambda who visit us and attend parties
hosted by the brothers. As a result, the Asian-Greek life has created a huge
network of connections that a brother of Lambda Phi Epsilon has opportunities
to take advantage.
Alumni Networking
Lambda Phi Epsilon has a strong alumni network, both
locally and on the national and international levels. Recently, the National
Council of Lambda Phi Epsilon has started to compile an alumni list with
job descriptions and telephone numbers for actives to contact at their
convenience. This list, as well as the many driven people you will meet,
is a valuable networking tool to help you get jobs right out of college
and valuable internships, especially in today's fragile economic status.
