"Initially, I saw what Lambda did for my brother, and
I wanted the same thing. It wasn't until recruitment
that I felt connected to all the guys I met, solidifying
my choice."

"I honestly didn't want to join a fraternity, but it took
some convincing by my fellow brother, Logan O'Brien.
I'm glad I joined, as I was able to meet some good
lifetime friends that I know will push me not just in
academics but in my faith as well."
