chapter support & wellness
Health and wellness is at the forefront of everything we do at Lambda Chi Alpha. Ensuring our men are healthy and well and have a fraternal experience that contributes to, rather than detracting from, their wellness, is crucial.
Our individualized and consultative approach reflects industry recommendations that meaningful conversations and relationships catalyze the most progress regarding chapter culture shifts. This is the primary reason Lambda Chi Alpha moved to a weekly coaching model in 2020.
