Delta
Chapter
Delta Zeta at Bucknell University was the tenth chapter to
be installed by the General Fraternity of Lambda Chi Alpha. The date of
this installation was June 3rd, 1913. Our chapter is part of the Atlantic
Conclave, which consists of chapters from Delaware,
Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and Maryland.
Delta Zeta first occupied a house in 1917. It was located at 108 St. Louis Street,
at the corner of St. Louis
and Front Street.
Our current house was originally constructed in 1953, but was tragically
destroyed by fire on December 8, 1983. The house was reconstructed in 1984
and has been there ever since. Today, we are one of the strongest houses on
campus. Your association into this house is a symbol of the legacy that
those young men before us have passed on. It is a legacy of strength,
determination, and pride.
National Fraternity
Lambda Chi Alpha was
founded by Warren A. Cole, while a student at Boston University, on
November 9, 1909; with the expressed objective purpose of bringing about
the association together of college students of good moral character in the
various collegiate institutions within the United States and Canada; to
foster a high Christian standard of life and ideals, to promote honorable
friendship, to cultivate intellectual excellence, to secure for members the
greatest advantages in college life, to establish brotherly love, mutual
aid, close personal connection between alumni, undergraduates and college,
and to bind them together for mutual pleasure and interest in college as
well as after life by testing each with courage, self-control, obedience,
democracy and courtesy toward all with whom the may come in contact. Today,
Lambda Chi Alpha International Fraternity is one of the largest men's
general fraternities in North America with
more than 227,000 initiated members and has held subsidiaries (called
chapters) at more than 300 universities. It was the first fraternity to
eliminate pledging and remains a leader in the fight against hazing,
alcohol abuse, and other challenges facing today's college student. Lambda
Chi Alpha serves to complement higher education by providing opportunities
for academic achievement, leadership development, and lifelong friendships.
