24 May Tripartite Expansion
Lambda Phi Epsilon opens three new chapters this spring, marking a ten-percent growth in the roll of recognized chapters since Spring 2017.
“This most recent growth is just the latest in a string of successful chartering projects across America in recent years. Add to this our Return to Sacramento State University in California, and Washington State University in Washington, and it is hard to deny the momentum that Lambda Phi Epsilon is building,” said Jim Gaffney, Executive Director.

Sixteen new members at RIT crossed into the International Fraternity on April 7th, 2018. Hosted by the Syracuse University Associate Chapter, brothers from various chapters across the Northeast Region served a mentoring role to the RIT Charter Class. Dr. Gregory Mak (Spring 2004) from Alpha Kappa Chapter at Cornell University supervised their intake process as the New Member Educator.
“The chartering process was a challenging and invigorating, but rewarding experience,” said RIT Charter Class President Isaac Hammer. “I have met lifelong friends that have helped me grow as a person along the way. Together we have brought greater diversity to our school and created a strong unified voice for the Asian community to be heard.”

Hosted by DePaul University Associate Chapter, UW Madison was introduced to their Greek community via a campus-wide presentation. Ryan Gahol of DePaul University (Fall 2015) served as the New Member Educator.
“Chartering Lambda Phi Epsilon at the University of Wisconsin–Madison gave my brothers and me a glimpse of what our vision for our campus would look like. Our vision is to provide more opportunities, resources, networks, voices and overall a home for marginalized communities on a predominantly white campus, said UW Madison Charter Class President Kevin Nguyen. “Knowing and understanding how crucial it is for us as minorities to collaborate to achieve more, is why Lambda Phi Epsilon belongs on our campus.”
