From the founding of the Darsee Club to the present day, the Xi Zeta chapter has left an indelible mark on DePauw University and the lives of hundreds of brothers. Our legacy is one of resilience, brotherhood, and enduring commitment to Lambda Chi Alpha's ideals.
Our Ideals
The Creed of Lambda Chi Alpha
We believe in Lambda Chi Alpha, and its traditions, principles and ideals. The crescent is our symbol; pure, high, ever growing, and the cross is our guide; denoting service, sacrifice, and even suffering and humiliation before the world, bravely endured if need be, in following that ideal. May we have faith in Lambda Chi Alpha and passion for its welfare. May we have hope for the future of Lambda Chi Alpha and strength to fight for its teachings. May we have pure hearts, that we may approach the ideal of perfect brotherly love.
