"Not without Labor"

The history of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house dates back to the early 20th century before Lambda Chi had the house. The house then belonged to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. However, in the 1920's a fire in the house caused them to vacate leaving Lambda Chi to pick up the pieces and build the house that we still live in today. In 1927, the house officially became the home of the Beta chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha. Click the photos to the right for an enlarged view.
