What is Lambda Chi Alpha?We are the Zeta-Phi chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha at the University of Tennessee of Chattanooga! Welcome to our website!
Lambda Chi Alpha International Fraternity is the 4th largest social fraternity in the world in total number of initiates. We are currently the largest and one of the oldest fraternities on UTC campus. Lambda Chi Alpha strives to provide a co-curricular program that that will help its brothers enhance their leadership skills, social skills, academic performance, and passion for civic engagement! As a brotherhood, we strive for perfection in all that we do–be it in the classroom, in our respective organizations, and with our relationships between our families, friends, and brothers. While perfection is not actually possible to achieve, we believe that the collegiate experience provided by Lambda Chi Alpha will help create the kind of men capable of changing the world! |
Loyalty |
Establishes the correct ordering of our obligations and commitments. Unswerving allegiance to the organization and its laws, ideals, and defining principles prevents us from misplacing our loyalties.
|
Duty |
Delineates the sum total of all laws, rules, and customs that make up our organizational, civic, and moral obligations. Our values originate with duty because we expect individuals, as a minimum, to fulfill their obligations. We often expect individuals to exceed their duty, especially in ethical matters.
|
Respect |
Denotes the regard and recognition of the absolute dignity that every human possesses. Specifically, respect indicates compassion for and consideration of others, including sensitivity to, and regard for, the feelings and needs of others.
|
Service & Stewardship |
Service before self signifies the proper ordering of priorities. The welfare of the organization comes before the individual’s. While the focus is on service to Lambda Chi Alpha and broader communities, the idea also incorporates the concept of stewardship, of holding something of value in trust for others.
|
Honor |
Describes the complex of all values that make up the public code of the individual. Significantly, honor provides the motive for action and demands adherence to a public moral code, not protection of reputation.
|
Integrity |
Encompasses the sum total of a person’s set of values — his private moral code. A breach of any of these values will damage the individual’s integrity. Integrity, closely related to the word integer, refers to a notion of completeness or wholeness.
|
Personal Courage |
Depicts the premier virtue that enables us to persevere despite fear, danger, or adversity. Personal Courage includes the notion of taking responsibility for decisions and actions. Additionally, it involves the ability to perform critical self-assessment, to confront new ideas, and to change.

Five brothers attended the 56th General Assembly and Stead Leadership Seminar from August 4 - 7, 2016 in Miami, Florida. During this time, Brother Blake Lively represented the Zeta-Phi chapter as a voting delegate on matters of fraternity legislature. Brother Jay Nguyen was one of 24 brothers selected to serve on the International Ritual Team where he had the opportunity to initiate Brother Keith Wachter in front of nearly 700 brothers from across North America.

On September 3rd, the Zeta-Phi chapter welcomed 27 new associate members. Throughout the course of the upcoming semester, these gentlemen will learn more about the fraternity in preparation for initiation next January. Special thanks and shoutout to our Recruitment Chairman Cory Cantrell and President Jared Dix on a great fall 2016 recruitment.

CreedWe believe in Lambda Chi Alpha, and its traditions, principles, and ideals. The crescent is our symbol–pure, high, ever growing; and the cross is our guide–denoting service, sacrifice, and even suffering and humiliation before the world, bravely endured if need be, in following that ideal.
May we have faith in Lambda Chi Alpha and passion for its welfare. May we have hope for the future of Lambda Chi Alpha and strength to fight for its teachings. May we have pure hearts, that we may approach the ideal of perfectly brotherly love. |
