Brothers,
I have not had the pleasure of posting on this site in the past, but after looking at all of your many posts I admire the passion each of you have for Lambda Chi.
After realizing that there are over 3,000 Lambda Chi's living in the St. Louis area, several Brothers and I decided it would be a great idea to start a St. Louis Area Alumni Association. It is our goal to foster Brotherhood between Alumni in the St. Louis area and to support current and future chapters around the area. (please see our latest newsletter below)
If you live in the St. Louis area we would love to have your support and if you don't and would like ideas to start an association in your own area please feel free to contact me. Thank you all for your time and I hope to see some of you around.
In ZAX,

Brothers,
I hope this email finds you well as I have a lot of great information to share with you!
THE START OF AN ASSOCIATION
After many years of waiting we now have an officially established LXA St. Louis Area Alumni Association. This alumni association was recently formed by brothers from all around the country now living in the St. Louis area for the purpose of fostering a spirit of brotherhood and to support LXA in the St. Louis area.
As an association we have already sponsored several events from a BBQ to attending a St. Louis Cardinals game. Our last event, an Alumni vs. Active softball game, was held in September at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis with a strong turn out from alumni. We also turned out on the softball field with a swift and decisive victory against the undergrads! In conjunction with having a great afternoon on the field, we also have a productive meeting. During this meeting we voted on a set of bylaws and voted on a new slate of officers. Congratulations to: Jason Galloway, President (
jasong@lxastl.com); Shawn Usery, VP Programming and Recruitment (
shawnu@lxastl.com); Rob Sutton, VP Communication (
robs@lxastl.com); and Lynn Chipperfield, VP University Relations (
lynnc@lxastl.com ). This is a great group of guys and I believe they will represent your association well and accomplish a lot over the next year.
WEBSITE
I am pleased to announce the launch of our first website at
