Some Men Search A Lifetime For What We Have...

Associate Membership
Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity was the first national fraternal organization to officially end "pledging" as were known "New Member" programs for most of the 20th century. In order to educate rather than discipline, encourage rather than direct, the term "Associate Members" became the term for new members of Lambda Chi Alpha.
"AM"s are members of the Fraternity. It is as simple as that. Upon receiving a bid to join our membership and after having been pinned an associate member, each AM is entitled to all the favor and responsibility that our organization holds, excluding all Ritual matters. AMs are allowed to vote on non-Ritual matters as well as run for any High Zeta officer position, other than High Alpha and High Phi.

Brotherhood
In a very real sense, our Fraternity creates a family relationship among its members. It aims to bring together a group of young men who will be friendly, loyal, and helpful to one another during some of the best years of their lives and beyond. 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.
