Who are Pi Lambda Phi Brothers?


Many great men have built the foundation of their success from their experience in Pi Lam.

Pi Lams are responsible Brothers, Men and Members of their Community who have distinguished themselves in countless personal, professional, and civic endeavors - often drawing on the ideals and tenets of this Fraternity, and applying the lessons and people skills they learned as an undergraduate member of their Pi Lam Chapter.

Every chapter of the Fraternity is unique, and you'll want to acquaint yourself with the Brothers of the local chapter to see how you might fit in. All Pi Lams, however, share the rich heritage and traditions of Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity. In particular, all Pi Lams are united by a common subscription to The Creed of Pi Lambda Phi. Deep commitment to and investment in this Fraternity are the very essence of a Brother's relationship to Pi Lambda Phi.

After graduation, you will likely move away from school to face new challenges and exciting opportunities. However, the friendships that are made as a Pi Lam Brother endure.
