There’s nothing fun about being a cash-strapped undergrad. We’ve all been there. Sure, we tried to find ways to scrape up money for the essentials: books, housing, Owl’s Nest pizza and cheap beer, but that didn’t leave a whole lot left, and as a result we’ve lost some good brothers...
This summer Philadelphia played host to Pi Lambda Phi’s Leadership Convention, the annual gathering of Pi Lams and subsequent validation that most other chapters are weenies. You may remember as an undergrad, it’s not just an event; it’s an obligation! Days of exhilarating dialogue on eliminating prejudice, living the creed,...

Marc reports that he’s become, “an expert in jungle warfare,...
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...
