TAU OMEGA |
| Alpha Tau Omega is not only a place to celebrate great times with lifelong friends. Between the hourly exams, intense intramural games, and weekend tailgates, the brothers of Alpha Tau Omega enjoy four years of growth and maturation. Living at ATO provides an environment full with pride, support, and responsibility. Within these walls the most memorable moments of my life have been shared with 30 of my best friends. You just can't get that experience anywhere else. |

| BETA
THETA PI |
Beta Theta Pi is one of the largest and oldest fraternal organziations in North America. The Beta Chi chapter was colonized at Lehigh University in 1891. For more than a century, select Lehigh students have gotten to know the Beta spirit. As Betas, we pride ourselves with a strong commitment to excelling academically as well as being the leaders both on campus and in intramural sports. We truly enjoy the Lehigh 'work hard, play hard' way of life. While we can brag about the house's amenities like our library, the computer room, the HDTV in the chapter room, or the great meals our house chef prepares day-to-day, in reality all those things have almost nothing to do with going Greek. Being a Beta is about brotherhood; the realization that throughout the short time at Lehigh, there is a house full of men who are ready to stand by you. As a Beta for life, the fraternal bond lasts much longer than the time at Lehigh. Whether as a young alumni at a Lehigh/Lafayette game or coming back for Fraternal Fifties, a Beta knows he is amongst brothers.
Although every Greek house on the hill can offer a Lehigh student a bed to sleep in and events to attend, not all fraternities are the same. Being a Beta is a truly unique experience that makes the years at Lehigh more lasting, memorable, and meaningful. It is impossible to just read a few paragraphs and understand the great benefits of Lehigh's Greek life, let alone the experience of belonging to a certain Greek chapter. That is why we encourage the Lehigh students to stop by the Beta Theta Pi house for one of our many socials, philanthropy, or recruitment events taking place each week and ask any brother what being a Beta means to him.

| CHI
PHI |
The
Chi Phi Fraternity offers many opportunities to Lehigh males during their
four years in college. The most important aspect of fraternity life is
the friendships that are formed within the chapter. These friendships
are not merely for the duration of your college years, but are life long
and carry into your years as an alumnus. Chi Phi allows you to be involved
in the university and have a strong voice in the issues concerning the
school. The fraternity gives you the resources necessary to succeed in
your academic pursuits through the support and involvement of your brothers
and alumni. It also gives you the chance to build your leadership skills
as you accept the responsibility of the house, and Chi Phi's relations
with the administration, all students, other fraternities and the surrounding
community.
|
| CHI
PSI |
The
brotherhood of Chi Psi, affectionately known by common hill-goers as
"the lodge" can be thought of as a house that is rich in tradition
and full of a competitive spirit that many deem to be the hub of collegiate
life. The brotherhood itself is a diverse crowd which boasts athletes,
scholars, and collective leaders alike. To live amongst Chi Psi is to
develop along side those with high expectations and gentlemanly qualities.
The end result is an abundance of good times and friendships that last
a lifetime.

| DELTA
PHI |
The Nu Chapter of Delta
Phi was founded at Lehigh University in 1884 by six men who felt the desire for brotherhood and companionship. Delta Phi is the oldest continuous national
fraternity in the country. In the 2004-205 academic year, we received Silver standing in the annual Accreditation Report conducted by the University. Our brotherhood has become increasingly active with community service and philanthropy activities. With programs such as the Breast Cancer Walk, Bowling for Kids, and Hoops for Hunger, we have become an asset to both Lehigh University and the city of Bethlehem. The brothers of Delta Phi are actively involved with all three of Lehigh's major schools, the IFC, the IJC, and various clubs and varsity sports. We have been placed among the top fraternities academically with over a 3.0 GPA. In order to maintain such high grades, we have instilled programs to help our brothers through tutoring and required study hours. The Delta Phi alumni have been becoming more active every year. Last year alone, they helped organize an event to see the New Jersey nets and gave every departing senior a graduation gift. They are also planning to fully renovate the entire house in the near future. Additionally, we are very competative in intramurals, as we make it to the playoffs in almost every sport. We recently won IM football and soccer. We look forward to increasing our brotherhood this year and would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone who would like to visit.

| DELTA
TAU DELTA |
Established in 1865, the
members of Delta Tau Delta have always been proud of the Fraternity to which they belong. With a great house, the best chef on "The Hill," and a reputation that is prominent all around campus, Delta Tau Delta is the ideal place to call home. As "Delts," we are a group of well-rounded individuals who take pride in everything we do. Just last year we took the President's Cup for intramural sports on campus, volunteered at the Boy's and Girl's Club, broke top GPA, and organized great social events. Above all, we pride ourselves on our strong code of values and brotherhood. Our fraternity creates a bond that leads to life long friends and a group of brothers who you can call family. Besides our great social agenda and philanthropy, we have brotherhood retreats, formals, and a strong Lehigh history. Being in a Fraternity is a great life experience that prepares you more than anything for the road ahead. The Beta Lambda chapter of Delts is no exception. A commitment to Delta Tau Delta will place you in another environment, one where you will play a different and more responsible role in living your life according to values. Delta Tau Delta is a value-driven, international private membership organization. Our system will help you address specific aspects of your life; from academics to social behavior. Delta Tau Delta ideals are guiding principles, a lens through which to view the world. Since its beginning, the Fraternity has embraced truth, courage, faith, and power as its fundamental principles. When you leave Lehigh, don't just leave with a degree; leave with brothers, memories, and an experience that will last a lifetime.

UPSILON |
"There
is no place like home" is a famous movie quote that almost everyone
knows what movie it came from. The key word to focus on is "home".
As I compare the places that I lived here on campus, Delta Upsilon has
been the only place that I could say, "I'm going back to my house"
or "I am going home". When you live in a dorm or apartment,
you are surrounded by people who you may or may not know, but here at
DU I am surrounded by my fraternity brothers who I call my family. No
one can take the place of your family at home, but the people who are
around you day in and day out are the support system that is so greatly
needed at a challenging institution such as Lehigh University. My brothers
are there for me when I am down and also they are there to share a few
laughs when times are good. Choosing to be a brother and live in the
house has provided me with a family away from home and that is why I
like living at Delta Upsilon.

| KAPPA
ALPHA |
Academics
are what brings us to college, but what we take away from these years
are the friendships we found at Lehigh. The Kappa Alpha Society is a vehicle that brings us these friendships that will last a lifetime. Our society is the oldest Social Greek Letter Fraternity, and has been an active member of the Lehigh community since 1894. We at Kappa Alpha Society are active in many university clubs, club and intramural sports, and university committees. KA has an aggressive social calendar, which includes events with other Greek organizations.
|
| KAPPA ALPHA PSI |
The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was founded January 5, 1911 on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington Indiana. The fraternity was founded by ten members led by Elder Watson Diggs. It is the oldest minority fraternity in existence. The fundamental purpose of Kappa Alpha Psi is achievement. The fraternity's primary function is to promote leadership and community service. We aim to inspire service as well as social growth and pleasure.

| KAPPA
SIGMA |
| The
Beta lota chapter of Kappa Sigma has a strong history here at Lehigh
spanning back to the turn of the century. We are highly competitive in
intramural sports and include in our brotherhood varsity sportsmen on
the lacrosse, golf, and tennis teams. There are active guys on the club
teams of rugby and ice hockey. |
We
pride ourselves on our academics and are always aware of our main priority
here at Lehigh as students. Each brother lives in his own room that allows
privacy and quiet during exam periods. The Kappa Sigma chapter house
is one of the biggest houses on the "hill", with four floors
of living space. Each floor consists of bedrooms surrounding a common
area. Our chapter room is where weekly house meetings take place, and
our library is where work can be accomplished easily. Kappa Sigma has
a separate dining room and a fully stocked kitchen with a cook that prepares
breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the brothers. Finally for relaxation
and socialization, the brothers are able to lounge in the recreational
room, complete with a pool table, couches, and an entertainment system.

| LAMBDA
CHI ALPHA |
| Among
all the residential environments at Lehigh, the only one that seems to
offer everything you could ask for is Greek Life. Living in a fraternity
house, you live with 30 of your best friends. You develop lifelong friendships
that never seem to die out. One of the characteristics that separates
Lambda Chi Alpha from some of the other fraternities is that we have
no "stereotype-member". What this means is while some houses
are known for academics, or outrageous parties, or great sports, we seem
to encompass all of these things. Everyone in the house is different,
yet there is that one thing we all have that makes us Lambda Chi's. Another
thing that separates us from other houses is that we don't have pledges.
We have Associate Members - what that means is that you (as an A.M) have
a vote, a voice, and basically have every right brothers have. Remember
you will be living with these guys for 3 or 4 years. |
Benefits
of Lambda Chi Alpha - 2 washers/ 2 dryers - separate dining room from
bar room - 3 house computers (2 linked to the network) - house laser
printer and copier - pool table, newly renovated TV room - ISS cleaning
service.

| PHI
GAMMA DELTA |
For
over 100 years, the Beta Chi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta has been a proud
and well-established fraternity at Lehigh University. Since 1886, Phi
Gam or "Fiji" as it is commonly known, has been a rich association
of Lehigh men who have worked toward high levels of achievement in athletics,
scholastic, social and service activities. A rarity in the Lehigh fraternity
system, Fiji is a vastly diversified house with the Brotherhood involved
in all aspects of the Lehigh community. Although our brotherhood is composed
of varied personalities and backgrounds, Fiji is well known around campus
for the tightness of our brotherhood. The care with which we regard our
fraternal secrets binds us together and distinguishes Phi Gam from other
houses.

KAPPA THETA |
| The
Brothers of the Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Theta would like to welcome
the Class of 2009 to Lehigh University. Since Lehigh will be full of
new experiences, we at Phi Kap believe that fraternity life can be an
integral part of your college life. Living in a fraternity can be a
powerful influence both as a familial social network and gateway to learning real world administrative tools. The Phi Kap family
is proud of its strong history. |
Founded
at Lehigh in 1919, Phi Kappa Theta National fraternity is an organization
which supports the ideals of fraternity life with the added advantage
of being a highly diversified group of individuals. Life at Phi Kap exemplifies
college life with close friendships, academics, sports, philanthropy, and of course,
social life.

| PHI
SIGMA KAPPA |
The brothers of Phi Sigma Kappa live by our national fraternity's cardinal principles to promote brotherhood, stimulate scholarship, and develop character. As one of the smallest fraternity houses at Lehigh, each member knows the entire brotherhood - actives and alumni - and has abundant leadership opportunities. Our alumni take great pride in our chapter and work diligently with our active brothers to enrich our fraternity as we enjoy our 53rd year on "the Hill" and 105th year at Lehigh.
After the initial shock of Phi Sig's accreditation rating, the brotherhood has rallied together to improve all aspects of our chapter. We began by implementing brand new scholarship and leadership programs, which have been very well received. Earlier this semester, Phi Sig ran its Kick Over Cancer charity band concert and organized the Pro Greek Beast Roast with FIJI, Chi Phi, and Sigma Chi. Next spring, Phi Sig will continue its tradition of volunteering at Read Across America and maintaining our adopted section of I-78. We look forward to meeting with freshmen and welcoming a new class of Phi Sigma Kappa brothers.

UPSILON |
A
fraternity isn't a place to live; it's a lifestyle. It isn't just about
larger rooms, the personal common rooms, the big screen TV, the grand
piano or the library. It isn't about having a fully stocked kitchen.
It isn't about having a personal chef. We have these things, but they
don't define us. A fraternity is about people. It's about knowing the
people you live with. It's about living with your friends. It's about
having a supportive network of people around you. It's about havig a
place in which you are so comfortable you can say, "I'm going home,"
and mean it. It's about meeting new people in a social environment unsurpassed
anywhere else. It is about striving for excellence and having others
help you along the way. You need to experience Psi U to undersand.

| SIGMA
PHI EPSILON |
The
Pennsylvania Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon has thrived as an active
member of Lehigh's fraternity system since its re-colonization in 1966. As brothers in Sigma Phi Epsilon, we seek to build a strong brotherhood that is committed to our cardinal principles of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love. Our brothers are defined by our commitment to academic success, personal achievement, community involvement, and fraternal endeavors. Sigma Phi Epsilon is a place where good men enter and better men leave. Our brothers are members of many campus organizations and serve as active leaders within these organizations. We offer a strong academic plan that rewards brothers for high academic achievements as well as provide assistance for brothers who need help. Another aspect of our academic plan is our goal to become a Residential Learning Community before the conclusion of the spring 2006 semester. As an RLC chapter, a Lehigh professor will hold office hours in our chapter house once a week. These office hours will be open to our brothers as well as the entire campus community.
This year our alumni corporation is working with Residential Services to renovate our house library and chapter room. Both of these projects should be completed by the end of the spring 2006 semester and offer our brotherhood increased room to study and meet. The largest party of our broad philanthropy and community service plan is our Good Scholar Election. This is the 16th year of the Good Scholar Election, the largest student run philanthropy event at Lehigh, and we have 41 organizations working to raise funds to benefit cancer research.

| THETA
CHI |
Theta Chi fraternity is more than a living option; its an experience like no other. Here, you'll develop enduring friendships - ones that reach far into the years after you graduate from Lehigh. You'll learn many valuable lessons to help you prepare for the future, while gaining the experience and Theta Chi principles thta will guide you for the rest of your life. To live in Theta Chi is to live with a 30-member family - a family who shares the responsibility of owning its own house and embraces the uniqueness that comes with this benefit. But even as the only fraternity with its own house, we still strive to preserve our chapter, while still enjoying the social functions and everyday enjoyment that comes with this house.

| THETA
XI |
The Eta chapter of Theta Xi is proud to have recently celebrated its 100th anniversary at Lehigh University. Being a brother of Theta Xi means a devotion to the chapter, your fellow brothers, and the Greek system as a whole. We actively engage in community service events, most notable is our annual charity band concert. Brothers are encouraged to participate in intramural sports, run for offices, and work with their peers to help make the house a better place to live. While living in Theta Xi, members are also able to interact with and develop friendships with our cook, alumni advisor, and faculty advisor. However, the most important asset Theta Xi has to offer is the fact that an individual has a chance to spend four years of his life with thirty to forty of the best individuals this campus has to offer.

Chi Omega was colonized at Lehigh, February 11, 1989. Since then we have developed
great pride in our chapter and a strong sense of sisterhood. The sisters of Alpha Chi Omega are extremely proud of the strides we have taken in the past few years. We have held the highest GPA of any organization on campus for the past two years. Last year, we were one of only three chapters to achieve a Gold Accreditation status.

GAMMA |
Here
at "DG" we pride ourselves in our strong sisterhood. Sisterhood, to a DG means working together to achieve common goals - utilizing our individual strengths to balance out each other's weaknesses. Sisterhood is always having a shoulder to cry on, always having a friend to stuy with, always having a sister to grab ice cream at The Cup, and always a sister to have fun with. This uniqueness and enthusiasm strengthens DG as each sister adds her special talents to our family; we are a diverse group of women, involved in everything from a variety of varsity sports to volunteering their time at Fountain Hill Elementary as "Big Sisters," at the Women's Center, working hard as writers and editors for the Brown & White, climbing into the business world through accounting and finance clubs, bringing unity to Lehigh through ASA and Student Senate, taking part in various honor societies, studying abroad, or simply taking the time to better the community on their own, yet we all find time to make DG an amazing place to live. DG places a great deal of value on sisterhood and we are proud of our unified chapter, created and bound together through our teamwork, and of course through the most fun memories of our college careers!
