Our Chapter

Over a century of brotherhood at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

A Legacy at MIT

Lambda Chi Alpha's presence at MIT stretches back over a century. Our chapter has been a cornerstone of fraternity life at the Institute, shaping leaders, scholars, and lifelong friendships along the way.

We're proud to be part of MIT's Interfraternity Council, one of 25 chapters contributing to the vibrant FSILG community that makes MIT unique among top universities.

1913

Second General Assembly

Lambda Chi Alpha held its Second General Assembly at our MIT chapter house in Boston — a pivotal moment where the fraternity adopted its secret motto, ritual insignia, and organizational structure.

1958

The Smoot

MIT pledge Oliver R. Smoot was used to measure the Harvard Bridge by his fraternity brothers, creating the legendary unit of measurement. The bridge is 364.4 Smoots (± 1 ear) long. A plaque commemorates the event to this day.
