THE OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH A FRATERNITY
Are you that man - or group of men - on your campus who is ready to create a path that hundreds of men will follow?
Not everyone has the courage or vision to start a chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda (AKL). It requires true leadership, time and follow-through.
Over 100 years ago, 11 men at the University of California had an idea to form the first fraternity on the West Coast. Since that time, more than 24,000 members have joined the ranks as "men of character committed to making a difference."
The flag of Alpha Kappa Lambda flies high on many campuses. We have laid a path before us of growth to new campuses through men of high values, high aspirations and vision.
 If you have the passion, skills and desire to start a chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda on your campus, this section of the Web site is your toolbox for success.
Using the links on the right side of this page, you can learn more about the process of recruiting the founding fathers of the colony to receiving your charter as a chapter.
