Membership

Welcome home.

Whether you were initiated last spring or decades ago, there is a place for you at Xi Xi Lambda. Reclaiming brothers is one of our chapter's highest priorities, and it starts with one conversation.

Upcoming · Reclamation

ONE NINE: Day of Reactivation

Each January 9 (one-nine, for 1906), Alpha Phi Alpha marks its International Day of Reactivation, open to every brother regardless of active or inactive status. Xi Xi Lambda will gather brothers from Frederick County and the surrounding area to reconnect. Time and location coming soon.

Event details

Reclamation

The light is still on.

Life gets busy. Careers, family and moves pull brothers away from chapter life. None of that changes the oath you took.

  • Brotherhood with Alpha men across Frederick County and the surrounding area
  • Service through our national programs, health forums and days of service
  • Mentoring the college brothers of Mu Upsilon at Frostburg State and Phi Iota at McDaniel College
  • Volunteering with the Xi Xi Lambda Foundation, Inc. at scholarship and community events
