Lambda Chi Alpha was founded at Boston Univesity in 1909 and has become the 3rd largest Fraternity in the Nation. Lambda Chi was chartered at Mercer University as the Zeta Omega Zeta Chapter in 1947. In 1985, the fraternity lodge, located where what is now the University Center, caught fire and was completely destroyed. Brothers, Alumni, local Fraternities, and national donors pulled together to build a new lodge which stood until May 2000 when Mercer tore down Greek Row in preparation for its replacement, Greek Village, in August 2000. Lambda Chi Alpha celebrated is re-chartering at Mercer in 2001. We also had the honor of initiating the 200,000th brother of Lambda Chi Alpha in 1991.
SPIRES
The Spires program is designed to highlight the best Fraternities on campus through an evaluation of all aspects of Fraternity life. The coveted 5-spire award has been won by Lambda Chi Alpha every year. Lambda Chi has also placed in nearly every category of excellence under the Spires program, including Philanthropy, Academic, Involvement, etc.
PHILATHROPY
Lambda Chi Alpha partners with the Middle Georgia Community Food Bank to raise canned goods and fiscal donations for Macon's needy. Each year we hold several fundraisers and conduct a city-wide Food Drive. Our Philanthropy, known nationally as the North American Food Drive, is the largest of its kind in America.
SOCIAL
"All work and no play" isn't a phrase you'll hear around Lambda Chi often. After all, isn't college also about having fun and being yourself? Each year Lambda Chi Alpha holds some of the best parties on campus. Just ask the girls! From our almost-famous annual Black Light party, to wild Formals, to off-the-wall Mixers, Lambda Chi's Social Chair never fails to satisfy.
ACADEMICS
We place a high priority on academic performance. In fact, statistics show that if you join Lambda Chi you WILL have a higher GPA than someone who does not. At Lambda Chi, you'll find help in nearly any subject. We have Brothers in almost every field of study with a heavy focus on Business and Engineering.
