Lambda Lambda Lambda (ΛΛΛ or Tri-Lambs) is a national collegiate co-ed social fraternity founded on January 15, 2006 at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut by a small group of students. On April 8th 2017, the Alpha Chapter inducted their Upsilon Class, bringing their historical numbering to 157.
Inspired by movies like Revenge of the Nerds and National Lampoon's Animal House, Lambda Lambda Lambda is a small co-ed social fraternity, unaffiliated with the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils, dedicated to the enjoyment and enrichment of pop culture and to the brotherhood of its members. Tri-Lambs does not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, class, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The fraternity was founded on the grounds of changing what a fraternity is back to its original meaning. The "openness of the fraternity" leads it to be a place in which to create a "network of support" among its brothers.
Per the founding ideals of the fraternity, Lambda Lambda Lambda has historically included a range of students in its ranks. While each brother is specially chosen to join the fraternity, the opportunity to rush is afforded to all students in a chapter's jurisdiction and selection is made based on that individual's merits. Similarly, the chapters of Lambda Lambda Lambda represent a wide range of takes on the national organization's guiding principles while upholding the original standard of merit. As such, groups interested in instating new chapters must contact Alpha Chapter before taking any steps to do so in order to be recognized by the fraternity and be assured of following the mission of the organization.
The fraternity is governed by the University of Connecticut's Alpha Chapter. A group of officers presides over all matters both internally and externally with changes to the running of the organization being decided by majority vote at chapter meetings achieving a quorum of active brothers. The Alpha Chapter is also responsible for colonization and induction of new chapters. Historically, a representative of Alpha Chapter has guided the first class of new chapters into the fraternity before that chapter embarks on the task of self-governance. Groups interested in instating new chapters must contact Alpha Chapter before taking any steps to do so in order to appropriately establish a new chapter according to the organization's standards.
