That all men are created free and equal.
That no society of men can flourish unless members of that society are endowed with the opportunities and privileges of freedom.
That freedom implies the elimination of prejudice. That the elimination of prejudice means a better understanding ‘twixt men.
That it is incumbent upon me to fight for such freedom, even with my life.
That it is incumbent upon me, in my personal life, to be devoted to the highest standards of honesty and justice.
That because my country is dedicated to the highest standards of freedom and justice for all men of all creeds, I hereby pledge allegiance to my country, and to its national symbol.
Scholarship goes beyond your undergraduate or even graduate experience. Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi commit themselves to a lifetime of personal growth and discovery. A true Pilam knows he always has something to learn and never truly reaches the end of his educational journey.
A Pilam is a man of character, a man of class and grace, and a man who will “Always be a Gentleman.” A man of character is someone who gives back through community service and philanthropy and is never afraid to stand up for his convictions.
A leader is someone who is willing to take on challenges and guide others through them. A leader is also someone, at any level of an organization, who seeks opportunities for personal and group growth. Through Pilam, members learn how to lead but also learn about the idea of servant leadership and what it means to be part of something larger than oneself.
A Brother of Pi Lambda Phi will always uphold his commitments to himself, his fellow brothers, and all others to serve a greater good. Commitment comes in many forms, but none more important than committing to hold yourself and others accountable in times where it is easy to simply turn a blind eye. The lessons learned through Pilam enable our members to be successful contributing members of our Fraternity, their local community and society as a whole.
Finance refers to how a Pilam chooses to invest his various resources; time, money and the relationships he builds throughout his life. A Pilam invests in his and others’ futures by wisely investing his resources and maximizing the return on investment in all facets of life, well beyond his collegiate experience.
We take great pride in our partnership with Big Brother Big Sister of the Big Bend, an organization committed to guiding children toward a brighter future. Big Brother Big Sister is a mentoring organization that pairs adult volunteers with children and teenagers to provide guidance and support. Through one-on-one relationships, mentors help mentees develop life skills and build confidence. The organization aims to help young people succeed by fostering positive connections and providing mentorship.
Founded at Yale University in 1895, Pi Lambda Phi (Pilam) was the first non-sectarian fraternity in the United States. It accepted men of good character without regard to race or religion and strived to eliminate prejudice.
Today, Pilam chapters across the United States and Canada cultivate a brotherhood that promotes academics, community service, philanthropic engagement, leadership development, financial responsibility, social skills, and lifelong relationships. These values help Pilam men succeed as postgraduate professionals and as active citizens who courageously eliminate prejudice in their communities.
The Pilam experience is offered to undergraduate members in an environment free from hazing and drug and alcohol abuse. Our members are all individually unique, but we are unified through our commitment to our Creed and Values.
