Will you answer the call?

Brothers of Mu Lambda, as we prepare to return to our house—our House of Alpha—we must ensure that it is not only a place of fellowship and tradition but also a fully equipped space where we can thrive as a chapter. To accomplish this, we need your support in securing the essential appliances and furniture that will make our house a functional, welcoming, and efficient environment for meetings, mentorship, community service, and fraternal bonding. From a conference table where we will strategize for the future, to comfortable seating for our gatherings, to kitchen appliances that sustain our events and celebrations, every item on this list plays a vital role in making our house a true hub of leadership, service, and brotherhood. This is more than just furniture and equipment—it’s an investment in the future of Mu Lambda and the legacy we continue to build. Let us come together, as we always have, to ensure our house is ready to serve our mission and community for generations to come.
