Lambda Chi Alpha was founded in 1909 at Boston University. Our Founder's Day is celebrated on 22 March 1913 though, because that's when many ideals, mottos and symbols were adopted, at the first general assembly.
My chapter though, is even older. It was started in 1900, the second society on Rose Poly's campus. It was called PIES, or Polytechnic Institute Engineering Sciences. In 1925 PIES joined Theta Kappa Nu, a small national fraternity, which merged in 1939 with LCA.
LCA was founded on Christian principles, was the first fraternity to get rid of pledging, and is the third largest fraternity, and the largest fraternity of the 20 youngest.
