You already know the impact Greek life has—because you lived it. The term ‘social fraternity’ might give the impression that the Greek experience is superficial. But research shows that personal connections and friendships are the key to happiness.
These lifelong relationships are only part of what makes the fraternity experience so transformational. From our career trajectories to our family’s values, our LXA experience played a key role. Our experiences helped make us into the people we are today.
Here is an eBook of some of the best responses to recent a survey of Greek communities across the country. These quotes illustrate why Greek life is and will remain a key part of the higher education experience. Click HERE to read the eBook and keep reading to see what LXA members had to say.
“Lambda Chi Alpha was an important part of my undergraduate experience at Penn State, over fifty years ago. Fraternities and sororities are important psychological and emotional support groups for undergraduates. Without such groups, an undergraduate could easily see himself (or herself) as one student (an isolated individual) in an ocean of tens of thousands of other students.” – Mr. Silas Powell ‘67
“I loved my time as an undergrad at LXA. It helped shape me into the man I am today. Many of my Brothers have become lifetime friends.“ – Kenneth Termini ‘87
“The most valuable part of my Lambda Chi experience is the long–term friendships that have endured.” – Michael Gilotti ‘69
“Having been born and raised in State College, I knew that being a “commuting townie’ was not going to provide me with a full college experience. Zeta Zeta provided me with the social and intellectual experiences that I would have otherwise missed. For that opportunity I will be forever grateful.“ – Michael Shaffer ‘60
“The most valuable part of my LCA experience is the ongoing fellowship with my fraternity brothers.” – Stephen Ahrens ‘84
“I have fond memories of Lambda Chi, and I hope it continues to provide others with fond memories to cherish. It gave me life-long friendships.” – John Riener ‘63
