If you are attending or planning to attend Troy University and have wondered what fraternities are like , let me personally invite you to come by and visit our house. My name is Will Crenshaw and I am the rush chairman of Lambda Chi Alpha at Troy University.
Many new students are worried about the obligations of fraternities and the distinction between “brothers” and “pledges.” These factors are what sets Lambda Chi Alpha apart from the rest. In our fraternity you are not considered a “pledge” but rather an ASSOCIATE.
Lambda Chi Alpha was the first fraternity to create “Associate Membership.” Through this action, we abolished pledging. Lambda Chi Alpha is proud to say that we will never treat a new member as a pledge. We are dedicated to this principle because we want you to feel like you are one of us. You will never see us asking you to do something that we would not do ourselves. DON’T PLEDGE US…JOIN US!
Lambda Chi Alpha is unique in that as an associate member, you will be able to participate and vote on chapter events. You can even run for office if the opportunity arises. One of the best things about associate membership at Lambda Chi Alpha is it gives the new member a time where he can decide if fraternal life is what he really wants. When you go out around to other Greek Organizations, ask questions: Can you attend their general meetings before initiation? Can you vote during general fraternity meetings? We think you’ll see the benefits of an associate membership over a pledge period.
In Lambda Chi Alpha, you will be given the opportunity to develop leadership abilities and friendships that will help you throughout your college career and beyond. These skills will be fostered by holding offices and working on committees in our fraternity and within the campus community. At Lambda Chi Alpha, there is always a leadership opportunity awaiting you.
Feel free to stop buy our house at 404 Fraternity Circle and get to know us.. We’d be glad to talk to you about our fraternity or answer any questions you might have about Troy University in general.
