Brotherhood
A big brother programme, six family lines, retreats every term, and a group of men who will still pick up the phone twenty years from now.

Who we are
Rooted in heritage.
Open to all.
ΛΦΕ was founded in 1981 by nineteen men at UCLA who set out to raise the standard of excellence for young college men, and to build a home that Asian-American students could belong to without being defined by it.
Heritage remains one of our five core values, and our programming reflects it. Membership has always been open without regard to ethnicity, and the Alpha Xi brotherhood is the stronger for it. We look for a man who wishes to be held to a standard, and who will hold others to the same.
“ΗΓΕΜΟΝΕΣ ΕΝ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΙΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ”
The four pillars. Everything the chapter does falls under one of them: Brotherhood, Philanthropy, Social, and Academics.
The four pillars
What membership involves
Φ
Philanthropy
Our national cause is the stem cell registry, carried in memory of our brother Evan Chen and aimed at the donor gap facing Asian patients.
Σ
Social
Mixers, cultural programming, interchapter visits, and the annual international convention.
Α
Academics
Representation across every faculty, brothers who TA the courses you’re taking, and a chapter GPA average of 3.67.
Core values
Five things we ask of every brother
These are the international fraternity’s core values. They are the standard by which new members are taught and actives are held.

Our cause
A swab takes two minutes.
It can save a life.
In 1995, Stanford brother Evan Chen was diagnosed with leukaemia. The fraternity ran what became the largest bone marrow typing drive in the history of the National Marrow Donor Program. Evan died in 1996 without finding his match.
Patients are most likely to match a donor of similar ancestry, and Asian patients remain badly underrepresented on the registry. That is why every ΛΦΕ chapter, including ours, runs a registry drive every year, without exception.
