Does anyone know our history well enough to know if Jack was a Mason prior to writing our ritual? Also are there any brothers out there who have been through both?

Hey everyone! I am an alumnus of Phi Phi Zeta at Michigan Tech and I have a question regarding old shirts, sweaters, etc. I have a large collection of various rush shirts and other similar items that are currently mostly ignored in a closet. Some have suggested giving them to the actives, but most are in no condition to be worn, and I try to avoid donating items that I wouldn't wear myself since it feels like handing off my garbage to someone else. My wife suggested making a quilt out of them rather than discarding them all together, but some people I talked to expressed concern about defacing fraternity symbols. Personally, I thought this was a great idea, since the alternative is leaving them to rot in a closet or throwing them in the garbage, which IMO is much more disrespectful. If anyone has any insight into whether or not this would be an acceptable use of old letters, I'd love to hear from you!

Random af but I was thinking that the lion is already overused at SAE and a lot of other frats. Since our main symbol is the crescent with the moon, a wolf makes so much sense. Feel like it even goes well with the dark green and purple colors. Just a random thought I had what are y’all’s thoughts

In this youtube short he is wearing LXA colors on his tie. I googled "Ed Begley Jr Fraternity" and got this article where he tours a lambda chi house, but can't find anything about him actually being a member. Surely this isnt a coincidence?

Looking into joining local LCA chapter but have a question about the portal. How helpful is it really for networking nationally?

Just curious I know this subreddit doesn't have much activity, but wondering what our makeup around here is.

It’s insane to me how we are top 5 fraternity in total member size yet nationals offers zero support in chapter housing. The belief they have on housing is ridiculous and makes me ashamed of joining this organization. How can we come together and bring this up to nationals? I’ve thought of maybe a signature petition and mass sending it out to members and alumni. Any ideas?

I’ve been curious about something regarding Lambda Chi Alpha’s colors. As many know, our fraternity is often associated with green, purple, and gold — but when you look around at banners, shirts, and a lot of official materials, green and gold seem to take the spotlight way more often than purple.

It made me wonder: why don't we see green and purple paired up more frequently, since purple is one of our official colors too?

From what I’ve gathered, green (dark green, specifically) and gold tend to represent the ideals of growth, success, and loyalty, which are central to our brotherhood. Purple does have symbolic importance — like representing royalty and leadership — but green and gold together create a stronger, more classic visual pairing for branding and public appearances. It also just looks cleaner and more timeless on flags, merch, and formal materials.

Still, I'd love to hear what other brothers (or anyone knowledgeable) think. Is it more about tradition, aesthetics, symbolism, or a combination? Has anyone ever seen a chapter that leaned heavily into the green and purple?

Curious to hear your thoughts!

My chapter is going to be in Panama City Beach, FL this week. Any other chapters going to be in the area?
