To Parents of Prospective
Members:
|
As your son enters the
University of Memphis, he will be asked
to make many decisions, such as: what to
study, where to live, with whom to
associate, among many others.
Fraternity membership is another
important decision for your son to
consider. By joining a fraternity, your
son is choosing to associate himself
with a group of men who share common
values and ambitions. Are these men
campus leaders? Do they make good
grades? Do they treat people with
respect? Will associating yourself with
these men help or hurt your chances of
graduating, finding a job, or becoming a
good parent some day? These are tough
questions and we feel that it is
important for family members of
potential brothers to know the core
values of the Greek system and of our
fraternity before encouraging your son
to pursue membership in Lambda Chi
Alpha. |
| |
The benefits
of joining a Greek
Organization are numerous
and diverse. For instance: |
 |
71% of those
listed in "Who's Who in
America" belong to a
fraternity. |
|
|
Of the
nation's 50 largest
corporations, 43 are headed
by fraternity men. |
|
|
85% of the
Fortune 500 executives
belong to a fraternity. |
|
|
40 of 47 U.S.
Supreme Court Justices since
1910 were fraternity men. |
|
|
76% of all
Congressmen and Senators
belong to a fraternity. |
|
|
Every U.S.
President and Vice President
(except two in each office)
- born since the first
social fraternity was
founded in 1825 - have been
members of a fraternity. |
|
|
A recent
National Conference report
revealed that a majority of
the 600 NIC fraternity
chapters are above the
All-Men's scholastic
grade-point average. |
|
|
A recent U.S.
Government study showed that
over 70% of all those who
join a fraternity/sorority
graduate, while under 50% of
all non-fraternity/sorority
persons graduate. |
| |
|
| |
For over 85
years, the fraternities and
sororities of The University
of Memphis have been
promoting friendship,
scholarship, service, and
leadership on our campus.
Some fast facts about Greeks
at the University of
Memphis: |
|
|
The President
of Student Government
Association (SGA), the
Vice-President of the
Student Activities Council
(SAC), the President of
Student Ambassador Board (SAB),
and the Executive Director
of Up 'Til Dawn are all
members of Greek
organizations. |
|
|
80% of the
Orientation Guides are
Greek. |
|
|
80% of the
Frosh Camp Counselors are
Greek. |
|
|
The majority
of the SGA Senate is Greek. |
|
|
The entire
Frosh Camp Executive Board
is Greek. |

Backed by a strong and
prestigious international headquarters,
our chapter is meeting many of the
challenges currently facing fraternal
organizations in the collegiate world.
At the 2007 Stead Leadership Seminar,
hosted by The University of Memphis,
Lambda Chi Alpha unveiled the True
Brother Initiative. True Brother is a
conceptual framework that streamlines
formal education and experiential
learning of associate members and
initiated brothers throughout their
entire undergraduate experience, paving
the way to a meaningful, lifelong
experience as an alumnus. In accordance
to the basic values of our ritualistic
founders, Lambda Chi Alpha embraces a
comprehensive curriculum of educational
components for associate members based
on the Seven Core Values of
Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Service and
Stewardship, Honor, Integrity, and
Personal Courage. Lambda Chi
Alpha has prescribed an eight-week time
period for associate members leading up
to initiation, which is spent focusing
on the demanding, but not
demeaning, development of our
associates. |

We know that you are
concerned about your son and want him to
have a positive experience while
enrolled at The University of Memphis.
There are many factors that can go into
making the right fraternal decision, and
the only way to decide is for your son
to attend rush events and base his
decision on interactions with the
current members. Zeta Theta is proud to
host several fun, casual, and
alcohol-free summer recruitment events
over the next couple of months. Feel
free to check our “Summer Calendar”

Brothers would like to invite you - the
