We, the members of Lambda Phi Epsilon National Fraternity, strive to promote Asian-American awareness in our community by helping philanthropic causes, educating the community, and preserving Asian-American culture.

Since its inception, Lambda Phi Epsilon's goals have been to exemplify the highest standards of Academic Performance, Social Experience, Community Service, and most importantly Brotherhood among its members.

On February 25, 1981, Mr. Craig Ishigo and a group of eighteen dedicated men founded Lambda Phi Epsilon here at UCLA. Dissatisfied with the state of the Asian-Greek system, they believed that through their interminable friendship they could construct a firm foundation for a new fraternity. The founders hoped to set new and higher standards of excellence for all Asian-interest organizations to follow, and they led the way by inspiring Brotherhood within Lambda Phi Epsilon which is now the largest Asian-American interest fraternity in the country.

Since its founding, Lambda Phi Epsilon has spread like wildfire to schools around the nation. Within ten years, chapters were established at all of the UC's and most of the CSU campuses. By 1990, Lambda Phi Epsilon was officially recognized as a national organization by the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) and since then, the fraternity has continued to grow and inspire the same ideals that all the brothers from around the country live by.

Although twenty-five years have passed, the brothers of Lambda Phi Epsilon take pride in maintaining the same traditions that have helped the fraternity become so successful. We still strive for the highest standards of Brotherhood and proudly support the Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches (A3M) foundation, our national philanthropy. We help promote awareness for leukemia and other blood-related disorders, whose patients require bone marrow transplants. Their best hope for matching donors lies within the Asian-American community. And the more people that register, the better the chances of finding a match for those in need.

Lambda Phi Epsilon continues to establish and perpetuate Brotherhood and fellowship among its members. Part of that Brotherhood is expressed in our motto, "To Be Leaders Among Men." We not only seek to bring together a diverse group of men who share interests, concerns, backgrounds and cultures, but who believe that the strength of many is forged into the power of being one.

Grounded on the principles of wisdom, honor, and courage, our actives continue to teach young men the principles of leadership and strong moral character. Our alumni provide a way in which brothers may apply these beliefs and become true leaders of society. It is that unique life-long commitment to lead in every arena of life that makes Lambda Phi Epsilon the most respected and sought-after organization of its kind.
