Men With Purpose
The Campaign for Lambda Chi Alpha
The Most Ambitious Campaign in Lambda Chi Alpha History
Every man needs to find his purpose. No man should have to search for it alone. The Lambda Chi Foundation has announced the public launch of the Men With Purpose Campaign, the most ambitious campaign in our Fraternity’s history.
This historic $60 million fundraising effort will help fund the Lambda Chi Alpha experience for generations, while driving innovation in the world of young men’s development. Our transformational, data-driven programs teach the lessons that can’t be taught in the classroom, building a man’s character and competence to accelerate his career readiness.
So far, we have raised $45 million towards this effort. Learn more about the campaign and how you can help develop men with purpose.
Investing in Potential. Helping Men Find Purpose.
DonateMen need fraternity now more than ever. Male college enrollment is at a 50-year low. Loneliness is at an all-time high, and more men are failing to launch into independent adulthood. We’re committed to bridging the gap by advancing men’s development, improving access to opportunity, and investing in fraternity as a force for good.
As traditional institutions leave young men behind, we choose to take action and invest in opportunities for them to grow, serve, and lead in their communities. We will also strengthen the Foundation’s endowment, ensuring these opportunities remain available for generations to come.
No one knows the path they’re meant to walk. But for over 100 years, Lambda Chi Alpha has helped men find their place in the world. Because Men With Purpose not only lead happier lives, they become better leaders, better fathers, and better people.
More men are reaching adulthood without the skills to truly embrace their independence. This growing “failure to launch” leaves young men struggling to find community, keep jobs, and live a meaningful life. But the best solution is prevention. We help men build their confidence while in college, inspiring them to find their purpose and pursue their goals with ambition.
The Men With Purpose Campaign is our commitment to future generations—a promise to guide them on their journey and help transform their potential into purpose. Lambda Chi Alpha invests in men when they need it most, connecting them with a family of 300,000 Brothers who will love and support them through life.
With your support, the Lambda Chi Foundation is transforming the Fraternity experience to better prepare men for life beyond college. Every program and initiative we fund helps more men discover their passion, refine their skills, and one day fulfill their purpose.
A $60 Million Investment in a Purpose-Driven Generation
This historic investment will help fund the Lambda Chi Alpha experience for generations, while driving innovation in the world of young men’s development. Our transformational, data-driven programs teach the lessons that can’t be taught in the classroom, building a man’s character and competence to accelerate his career readiness.
Your support drives progress toward our 2030 goals, as we seek to expand our impact across 200+ Chapters, award millions in annual grants and scholarships, and help thousands more men find their purpose in life. Because fraternity gives young men a place to discover who they are and become the men they were meant to be.

As young men return to campuses across the country, an important question is worth asking: What helps them thrive? Research from the Foundation for Fraternal Excellence points to the impact of fraternity: stronger well-being, greater confidence as leaders, deeper connections to campus and community, and better preparation for life after college. The Lambda Chi Foundation is proud to invest in this research and use what we learn to help strengthen the fraternity experience for the next generation. Swipe through to see what the research tells us.
Some legacies are carried forward in more ways than one. As a recipient of the Dirghalli Scholarship, Michael Colocado (Oregon State '94) had the unique privilege of knowing Rev. S. George “Doc” Dirghalli personally. When he crossed the stage at graduation, he carried a photo of Rev. Dirghalli with him in recognition of the impact he had on his life. “I’m really proud, honored and humbled to have been a recipient of the Dirghalli Scholarship. His life and legacy still lives on as he continues to impact the lives of many Brothers.” Established by Rev. S. George "Doc" and Kira Dirghalli, funds for this academic scholarship are available to current and former members of the professional staff at Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity pursuing advanced degrees. Applications are open through August 31. Learn more and apply at apply.lambdachifoundation.org.

Brother Rasmussen made a lasting impact through his leadership and accomplishments, and we are grateful for the example he set for generations of Brothers. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and Brothers during this time. Forever in ZAX.
