Lambda Chi Alpha

Going into college, I had always wanted to be in a fraternity. I wanted to be able to party and have fun while I was at college. I was the typical person who thought fraternities were just a bunch of guys that partied and had a good time. I couldn't wait to be apart of that, but once I got to AUM, all that changed. As rush week started, brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha approached me. They told me what this fraternity was about and that they would like me to rush for them. I thought it over and I decided I would go for it. As the semester went on, I eventually became and associate. Other fraternities call their "new boys" pledges. At Lambda Chi, we use associates because being a pledge is almost demeaning. As an associate, you have every right as a brother, except knowing ritual. Another reason I chose Lambda Chi is because we do not haze. We believe you can not create a true brotherhood if you are hazing and disrespecting the associates. Now an official brother of Lambda Chi Alpha, I look back on why I wanted to join this fraternity in the first place. Now my mindset is totally different. I am apart of something bigger than myself and I would do anything for this fraternity. Recently I was voted High Delta. Meaning I am in charge of recruitment in the next year. I take full honor in my position because for the next year, I am in charge of the future of this fraternity. Joining this fraternity is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
