Lambda
Chi Alpha at The University of North Carolina thrives as one of
Chapel Hill's strongest fraternal organizations. Grown from a
long tradition of brotherhood and character-building perseverance,
the UNC chapter today honors the past by upholding the same ideals
as its founding members. Throughout the 75 years of existence,
the brothers of the Gamma Nu Zeta chapter have been recognized
as outstanding leaders of scholarship and civic responsibility
at the University of North Carolina and in their communities.
This heritage is the foundation for the chapter's continued success.
Founded
April 26, 1926, as the 95th chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha, Gamma
Nu Zeta grew into a strong chapter of the fraternity during the
late 1920s and throughout the '30s. During the height of World
War II the chapter was forced to temporarily shut down. However,
the chapter was revived shortly after the end of the war and continued
to grow steadily through the years.
Today,
the brothers of Lambda Chi at UNC continue to be outstanding members
of the University and fraternity community. Ever striving to improve
themselves, the Lambda Chi brothers have maintained solid grade
point averages higher than the University's all-male average and
the all fraternity average. Gamma Nu Zeta has also won more than
15 Chapter Excellence Awards from the
UNC Office of Greek Affairs for highest GPA, Outstanding Campus
Involvement, and Outstanding Community Involvement. Over the past
15 years the fraternity has consistently been ranked in the top
3 in academics among all Greeks at Carolina. Further, at a time
of declining Greek membership, Lambda Chi Alpha has remained one
of the largest fraternities at UNC.
