Organize

NetworkingGraduate chapters are a way for alumni to continue building our brotherhood and serving the mission of the International Fraternity. Graduate Chapters will be focused in four primary areas: Leadership & Development, Undergraduate Relationships, Community Engagement, and Brotherhood & Networking. Members of a graduate chapter will have a voice in the fraternity (be able to vote on policies at Convention) and will be able to take advantage of opportunities to network, develop both personally and professionally, and move forward with purpose.

If you are interested in starting or joining a graduate chapter, please reach out to the International Board Alumni Team at alumni@lambdaphiepsilon.org! In order to charter a graduate chapter, three specific criteria must be met. First, a minimum of 10 graduate members must be registered with the International Fraternity. Additionally, the group must be able to demonstrate that it can provide Graduate Member services in a geographic footprint that i) does not overlap with or ii) is substantially unique from other Graduate Chapters. Finally, a Graduate Chapter is required to submit a letter of interest to the Director of Alumni Services. In consultation with the Director of Alumni Services, the Board of Directors will vote to approve recognition of the Graduate Chapter.

Contribute

Levels of Engagement

Lambda Phi Epsilon is driven to provide world-class opportunities to its members. Private donations support the ongoing development of Lambda Phi Epsilon services and programs. Financial contributions provide undergraduate members with travel assistance to international events, funding for student scholarship awards, improved coordination of fraternity events, and fuel for the expansion efforts that have made up the largest Asian-interest fraternity in the world. Private investment also symbolizes a significant vote of confidence in the work and the potential of the Lambda Phi Epsilon from our alumni, friends, volunteers, parents, faculty, and current active members. Please contact our Fraternity Treasurer to arrange a financial donation today.

 

The International Board is actively seeking alumni volunteers to contribute to the growth and operations of the organization. Alumni who can contribute approximately 10 hours or more to the organization per week are encouraged to apply for a staff position. Applications for unpaid staff positions circulate a month prior to Convention every year.

 

All volunteer appointments are made through the Executive Director. While volunteer officers would not be entitled to any reimbursement for travel, appointed volunteers are invited to attend Convention at no cost as their registration would be waived.

Alumni who would still like to get involved with advancing fraternity projects but with a less time-intensive commitment are encouraged to serve through an ad-hoc volunteer appointment. Example volunteer projects include:

 

• Chapter Advisors: Help to mold the future of Lambda Phi Epsilon by advising a local chapter. Chapter Advisors work in concert with the Regional Governors to implement international programs and to provide advice and support on the day-to-day running of a chapter. Advisors can expect to dedicate 1-2 hours per week to their chapter.

 

• Alumni Team: Assist with the implementation of Graduate Chapters.

 

• Communications Team: Contribute content to the LFE Magazine in the form of written articles and graphic design.

 

• Education Team: Aid in the intake and ritual processes of a chapter transitioning to the Noble Brother Program. Serve on a working group to update and improve the Noble Brother Program, Lambda Phi Epsilon’s revised International New Member Education Program. Time commitment varies based on assignment.

 

• Expansion Team: Facilitate the mentorship of a new Interest Group. Interested? Fill out the Open Call for serving as a Charter Big Brother or New Member Educator.

 

• Programming Team: Share thought leadership as a speaker at an Orientation or Convention event. Interested? Fill out the Open Call for serving as an upcoming speaker!

 

• Standards and Assessment Team: Review individual scholarship and chapter awards to be conferred at Convention. Assist with judicial investigations. Time commitment varies based on assignment.
