Vendor Marketplace

Selected vendors will have the opportunity to sell their merchandise during major components of the weekend (during Saturday and Sunday meetings) so please plan accordingly for what eventualities may occur!

Philanthropy Contest

Every 3 minutes, someone in the US is diagnosed with a blood cancer and 70% of patients don’t have a fully matched donor within their family. Young adult donors are especially needed, since they provide the best outcome for patients. That’s where you come in! All LFE chapters and members are invited to partake in a friendly competition to see which chapter can recruit the most new members to the Be The Match Registry and light the way to a better future!

This past Memorial Day weekend, our chapter was recognized with awards during our 40th annual Lambda Phi Epsilon Convention! Receiving Outstanding Communications, Outstanding Asian Advocacy and Chapter of the Year, our Spring 19 brother Aldrian Widjaja accepted them on our behalf. We thank our International Board and especially our executive director, our very own Spring 16 brother Zac Antonius! We hope that the knowledge we learned this weekend, the brothers we met and these awards will give us opportunity to grow more as leaders among men. #lambdaphiepsilon #baylorlambdas #lfeconvention
