About Us

Our Values Scholarship Scholarship goes beyond your undergraduate or even graduate experience. Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi commit themselves to a lifetime of personal growth and discovery. A true Pilam knows he always has something to learn and never truly reaches the end of his educational journey. Character A Pilam is a man of character, a man of class and grace, and a man who will “Always be a Gentleman.” A man of character is someone who gives back through community service and philanthropy and is never afraid to stand up for his convictions. Leadership A leader is someone who is willing to take on challenges and guide others through them. A leader is also someone, at any level of an organization, who seeks opportunities for personal and group growth. Through Pilam, members learn how to lead but also learn about the idea of servant leadership and what it means to be part of something larger than oneself. Commitment A Brother of Pi Lambda Phi will always uphold his commitments to himself, his fellow brothers, and all others to serve a greater good. Commitment comes in many forms, but none more important than committing to hold yourself and others accountable in times where it is easy to simply turn a blind eye. The lessons learned through Pilam enable our members to be successful contributing members of our Fraternity, their local community and society as a whole. Finance (Financial Responsibility) Finance refers to how a Pilam chooses to invest his various resources; time, money and the relationships he builds throughout his life. A Pilam invests in his and others’ futures by wisely investing his resources and maximizing the return on investment in all facets of life, well beyond his collegiate experience. Equality Our fraternity believes that not only do we have to believe in equality, we have to fight for its existence. Therefore, you will hear Pilams talk about the importance of the Elimination of Prejudice—a call to action. The pursuit of the Elimination of Prejudice is at the core of what it means to be a Pilam. Since 1895, Pi Lambda Phi has helped create a better understanding between people. Pi Lambda Phi and its members are committed to upholding the mission established by our Founders and at the center of it all is the pursuit of the Elimination of Prejudice.
