A bone-chilling day in December 2009 saw the initiation of 14 brothers into Pi Lambda Phi, officially signifying the return of the PA Alpha Delta chapter to Temple. For the fall 2009 class, freezing their orbs off in a barn* in Montgomery County was a small price to pay to be known as a “refounding father” of one of the most prominent Pi Lam chapters in the fraternity.
While this is a new era for Pi Lam, many things remain the same. Like the classes before them, the newest brothers are a diverse bunch. But unlike their “lunkhead” predecessors, these guys are pretty smart, boasting a 3.06 GPA.

- Cumulative GPA of 3.3
