Duke Lambda Phi Epsilon started as a dream in a Central campus apartment. Unsatisfied by the existing Greek system, a group of enthusiastic men set out to start something new, something they could call their own. After much hard work, the Duke Colony Chapter, under the guidance of Upsilon Chapter: The Johns Hopkins University, was established on November 23, 2003 as the 41st chapter of Lambda Phi Epsilon by eight dedicated men who wanted to make a lasting mark on campus.
Lambdas can be seen in many aspects of campus life. We have brothers in club sports teams, the Asian Student Association, the Inter Greek Council, The Chronicle staff, America Reads/Counts, the Investment Club, the Duke EMS squad, and many other organizations. We have alumni in business school, medical school, law school, and working professionally in industry and government.
Lambdas also give back to the community. We hold our bone marrow drive every year for our national philanthropy: National Marrow Donor Program and we frequently give back to the Durham Community by volunteering at Habitat for Humanity. Despite each brother’s varying interests, each member of Lambda Phi Epsilon holds the ideals of Brotherhood, Scholarship, and Philanthropy close to his heart.
