Lambda Chi Alpha was founded on the campus of Boston University on November 2, 1909. Its early growth was not rapid nor were its concepts immediately established. Through diligence on the part of its founders and early leaders, Lambda Chi Alpha rose to be one of the largest fraternities in the nation. Lambda Alpha did not start out as a national fraternity at Iowa Wesleyan. It was first Kappa Delta Psi, a local fraternity which was founded in 1917. In 1924, Kappa Delta Psi merged with Theta Kappa Nu, a national fraternity. Theta Kappa Nu merged with Lambda Chi Alpha in 1939. Among its early founders were Rev. Jerry Krenmeyre of Iowa Wesleyan College, who helped found the national fraternity and Dr. Harry E. Jacques, now Professor Emeritus of Iowa Wesleyan. During 1962-'63, the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha took numerous awards, among them were the scholarship trophy and second place in the Homecoming skit. On the social scene, the Lambda Chis again had a very successful season with two excellent formals and three very entertaining informals. Last spring the brothers undertook as its civic project, a thorough cleaning of the city park and swimming pool. This past winter they also held a Christmas party for Mt. Pleasant Chil- m dren. ! These and various other exciting events made for a successful year. PLEDGES: ROW ONE: N. Crabb, R. Young, Housemother Spearman, Dr. L. Haselmayer, R. Ahrens (pledge trainer). ROW TWO: J. Trickett, A.
