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. 


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. You will find a brother to hang out with, kick back, and have fun. You will find a brother that is a lot like you, and ones that are very different. However, at the end of the day everyone brings something special and we form the tightest brotherhood here at Boston University.


We are connected by a common bond of fraternity and WE BELIEVE:

We believe in Lambda Chi Alpha, and its traditions, principles, and ideals. The crescent is our symbol — pure, high, and ever growing; and the cross is our guide — denoting service, sacrifice, and even suffering and humiliation before the world, bravely endured if need be, in following that ideal.

May we have faith in Lambda Chi Alpha and passion for its welfare. May we have hope for the future of Lambda Chi Alpha and strength to fight for its teachings. May we have pure hearts, that we may approach the ideal of perfect brotherly love.

We have many formal and informal Brotherhood events during the year that span from grabing something to eat at the GSU, to intramural sports, to ski trips, to our spring formal on a boat onthe Charles River, but they all have the same element of camaraderie that you cannot find anywhere else.

"Committed to the ideas of fraternity, I know that the men of Lambda Chi Alpha will give their best efforts to the struggle to bring tranquility and peace through world understanding and the sharing of the fruits of freedom... we who know the meaning of brotherhood must practice it.” - Harry S. Truman
