[HONKY660]

Three years ago, one of our newly initiated brothers Diego died driving through campus when he drove off an embankment. It was a shock to us all, he was only 18 years old, and he viewed a lot of us as his blood brothers because his siblings were 12 years older than him. I took his death very hard, and it was a rough time for the whole chapter as a whole, we supported each other throughout this period, and we learned how fragile our lives really are. Our chapter received tremendous support from the entire Greek System, as well as from the school because he was a member of the UTEP cheer squad. All this support helped our chapter get through this period, and strengthened our bond as brothers. Without a doubt, I would proudly claim that Lambda Chi at UTEP is closest fraternity on campus, and every single one us would give the shirt off our backs for each other.
