Be a Leader—Be a Lambda Chi.

No office provides a greater opportunity to impact the experience and development of the chapter brothers or the security and future of a Zeta than the High Alpha. The tenure in office can often be marked by numerous challenges and periods of frustration. However, it also promises the opportunity to experience remarkable success, fulfillment, and even joy, as well as the possibility for considerable personal growth.

Chapters place confidence in a High Beta’s ability to direct and inspire the brotherhood, which impacts every aspect of a chapter’s atmosphere and operations. Brothers look to the High Beta for opportunities to continue to grow in their relations to one another and in values-based teachings of Lambda Chi Alpha. A High Beta must remember that his responsibilities include, not only the development of programs to ehance the internal involvement of each brother, but also to be an example of the values and ideals that our brotherhood teaches.

The High Theta can make significant contributions to a chapter’s reputation on campus and to the way in which the community views Lambda Chi Alpha and fraternities in general. Lambda Chi Alpha’s brotherhood has a long tradition and a commitment to the idea that serrving others is a significant expression of our Ritual and our investment in altruistic activities.

The High Gamma is entrusted by the chapter to keep the records of its deliberations, decision, and activities. In a very real way, records are the building blocks of a chapter’s history, recording and documenting for the future, the important developments of the present. The High Gamma serves as the recorder of his chapter’s history, which will shape future generations of Lambda Chi Alpha brothers who view what is accomplished during each tenure in office.

The High Tau has the chapter’s financial security firmly in his hands. The chapter brothers have expressed confidence in his ability to manage the chapter’s resources in a thoughtful and prudent fashion. While the day-to-day activities associated with this office, fiduciary responsibilities may at times seem repetitive and unimportant; however, the High Tau should be ever mindful that his stewardship will greatly impact the stability of the chapter’s future.

Few positions require more thoughtful planning, leadership skill, or personal courage as the High Iota. The High Iota has been given the responsibility to guard the integrity and safety of his chapter and brothers in all of the activities that his fellow officers will plan. A High Iota’s ability to enact this responsibility with consistency and integrity will define his role as a Faithful Steward on whom the chapter’s reputation and security will depend.

The High Kappa is perhaps in the best position in the chapter to influence the overall direction and spirit of the organization. An office with a tremendously responsible role, the High Kappa is in charge of teaching and sharing with our new members our organization’s values. Any long-time High Pi can tell a High Kappa that it only takes one or two years of poor Fraternity Education to set a chapter on a downward spiral. A High Kappa has an opportunity to reach out to each off our new and existing members and make sure that they gain the knowledge and experience needed to be a productive brother.

The High Delta is perhaps the best position to affect change within your chapter. The True Brotherhood Initiative’s greatest focus is on the area of recruitment. You should ever strive to bring into touch with the fraternity those individuals whose personalities, ideals and attainments are such as would make them great brothers of the bond.

 The High Phi is the keeper of secrets, held responsible for the ceremonies, rituals, and lore of Lambda Chi Alpha. He, along with High Kappa, are responsible for educating the chapter as to the history and mystery of the fraternity.

Everyone in a chapter came to school to learn, to grow, and to prepare for pursuing goals and ambitions for the rest of their lives. Sometimes brothers forget that academics are the most important priority in their undergraduate careers. The High Sigma’s role is to keep the importance of this priority firmly and consistently enacted in the chapter and its programming. The High Sigma’s success will not only enhance a chapter’s reputation for scholarship, but will help to ensure the future accomplishments of each brother.

The High Epsilon is entrusted by the chapter brothers to plan a range of activities designed to create an atmosphere of fun and play, while enhancing a chapter’s reputation and supporting the cultural development of each individual in the chapter.

The High Rho is the chapter’s most immediate link to the many alumni brothers who have passed previously through a chapter. It is the High Rho’s responsibility to ensure that each of undergraduate brothers realizes that Lambda Chi Alpha is a lifetime commitment, and to prepare them to become lifetime brothers. To this end, the High Rho’s regular contact with alumni brothers will provide opportunities for communication and enrichment and will allow these alumni to serve a role models for how Lambda Chi Alpha can become an important and continuing part of life after graduation.
