A Greek Anniversary Of Ten Years Lamda Chi Alpha fraternity celebrated its tenth year anniversary on the University of Dayton campus in 1985. The chapter marked the anniversary with a weekend-long celebration of its Founder's Day in March. Lambda Chi Alpha's beginnings date back to 1965 with the founding of a local fraternity, Epsilon Sigma Phi. In 1971 Epsilon Sigma Phi became a colony of the international brotherhood of Lambda Chi Alpha, and began four years of hard work toward achieving status as a chapter. That goal was reached March 2, 1975, when the colony received its official charter.

In the first decade Lambda Chi Alpha had initiated 341 men into its brotherhood. These brothers follow the open motto, "Naught without Labor," which says that nothing of meaning is achieved without serious effort. Brothers have applied this idea to positions and achievements on campus in academics, student government, athletics, and the arts. During these 10 years Lambda Chi Alpha has worked to enjoy an active role in University life. The fraternity sponsors its famous all-day party, Brew-B-Q, on Labor Day weekend. Its "Operation Suitcase" helps freshmen move into the dormatories during orientation. Lambda Chi Alpha has been active in service projects with United Way and Ronald McDonald House, co-sponsoring the latter with Delta Omega Tau sorority. On campus, Lambda Chi Alpha has taken part in Up the Organizations Day, Oktoberfest, and Springfest. In March the fraternity co-sponsored the University of Dayton-Notre Dame postgame party with the Irish Club. Lambda Chi Alpha celebrated its tenth year with Founder's Day Weekend March 21-24, 1985. Highlights of the weekend included an Alumni Kegger at the fraternity house and a dinner dance at the Pre sidential Banquet Center in Dayton. Many alumni returned for the events and with the active brotherhood reaffirmed the spirit of brotherhood that will continue for the next ten years and beyond.
