Lambda Phi Epsilon members pride ourselves in our dedication
to community service. Philanthropic endeavors have
always been a salient mission to all the brothers.
Every year, whether during the school year or in the
summer, each Lambda chapter gets involved in numerous
service events, dealing with the campus population
as well as the local community. Lambda Phi Epsilon
also annually volunteers for National causes, such
as AIDS Walkathon, Special Olympics and the National
Marrow Donor Program. Lambda Phi Epsilon strives to
hit a diversity of communities, utilizing our strength
in numbers, to reach as many people in need as possible.
In 1997, one of our brothers was diagnosed with Leukemia.
All of our chapters came together to help find him
a match, by coordinating bone marrow drives on each
of our campuses.

Asian American Donor Program
Today, Lambda Phi Epsilon's national philanthropy is the
Asian American Donor Program (AADP). AADP is a non-profit
organization dedicated to increasing the number of
potential bone marrow/stem cell donors to save the
lives of patients with leukemia and other blood-related
diseases. Each chapter holds annual bone marrow/stem
cell drives on campus, working hard to recruit the
student body onto the National Bone Marrow Registry.
This year, Lambda Phi Epsilon recruited over 2,000
new and potential bone marrow/stem cell donors onto
the registry! Because of our efforts, Asian patients
with leukemia will have a greater chance of finding
a match - potentially saving many lives. Through the years, Lambda Phi
Epsilon has established itself as a guiding force in the asian
service community. Our commitment to quality and excellence in service and
leadership sets standards that we see others follow.
By working with the various communities and showing
that service to those in need, can make a difference
in people's lives, Lambda Phi Epsilon leads by example.
Lambda Phi Epsilon brothers are truly "leaders among
men." Philanthropy is just another way that we show
it.
