Quotes from the Alumni

Not sure if Lambdas is right for you? We asked the Alumni for their thoughts and comments about Lambdas and why they joined. Here are some replies...

"When I look back, I'm always surprised at how much we were able to accomplish. After all, when I joined, Lambda Phi Epsilon was a few guys just starting to build a group. But I saw the potential to lay the groundwork for something lasting, something beyond my time at school. By the time I graduated, we'd created events and traditions that I think really added to my experience and to the larger Asian American and Stanford communities as well. Now, out in the working world, I'm busy with similar opportunities, applying skills that I learned and practiced as a Lambda. "My decision to pledge was based on the premise that I'd change Lambdas more than it would change me. I think that's held true - not just for me, but for just about everyone who's gone through. As an environment where the goal is for each member to become better, Lambdas is simply a place for people to contribute to what's already there, whether that be leadership skills, academic or or career advice, or an intensely strong social network. For those that can seize the opportunity, it's time well spent." -Elliot Loh, Alpha Class

"The commitment to brotherhood is the reason why I joined Lambdas. The thing that strikes you, though, is that the brotherhood is made up of so many successful and talented members. It's an amazing experience to develop such strong bonds of loyalty with your brothers, and it makes it all the more unique to realize that these are people who don't need the external gratification of being in a fraternity insofar as they would be considered successful by any measure, be it personal or professional. Not only did my brothers become my closest friends, but it was enormously helpful for me to have the advice and tutelage of older brothers and alumni in pursuing my own aspirations beyond graduation. You really can't undervalue the network of friends and connections that you join when you become a brother." -Yul Kwon, Delta Class

"In Lambda Phi Epsilon, you will have a lot of great times and you will also have some tough times. You will enjoy the good times and grow from the bad times. Through the process, you will end up with some of the best friends you will ever make and be able to laugh over some of the greatest stories when you get old like me." -Jerry Fang, Alpha Class
