"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28
In the aforementioned scripture Paul discusses equality under Christ. We in Lambda Chi hold true to this principle. One of our Open mottoes is Vir Quisque Vir translated it means "Every Man a Man." We boldly proclaim that we treat all men with dignity, and equality. This is demonstrated in our Associate member system. Lambda Chi Alpha was the first fraternity to nationally end the pledge system and begin a system of equality.
