Our History
Lambda Chi Alpha has been on campus since the founding of the Schiller Literary Society in the spring of 1868. The Schiller Literary Society turned into Sigma Phi which eventuall turned into a Theta Kappa Nu chapter in 1926. During the Great Depression, Theta Kappa Nu and Lambda Chi Alpha merged together. The values and ideals of Theta Kappa Nu are preserved and taught in our Associate Member Ceremony. Our current chapter was chartered in the spring of 2014, making Lambda Chi Alpha the oldest and newest fraternity on campus!
Obviously we have been around for a while, but we have also left our mark on campus. Check out some of our brother's contributions to BW.
The symbol for the Schiller Literay Society on the side of Davidson Hall.
Before it was a hall, Davidson used to be Theta Kappa Nu's fraternity house. The capstone is located on the left side of the hall's entrence, remembering those who were apart of Theta Kappa Nu before the merger.
Baldwin-Wallace's famous Riemnschnider Bach Institue and Bach Library was founded by our brother Albert Riemenschneider.
Marting Hall houses BW's history, english, and religion departments. The building is named after John C. Marting. When light is shined through the window above the main entrance, the reflection can be seen to spell out the greek letters "lambda," "chi," and "alpha," a possible allusion to his affiliation with Lambda Chi Alpha.
88.3 The Sting is BW's very own radio station. The station was founded by yet another one of our brothers, Thomas Riemenschneider.
“On the holy ground of our heritage let us, in brotherhood, sustain our commitment to seek a nobler life for all mankind.”
~AB Bonds, former BW President and honorary member of Lambda Chi Alpha
