 Congratulating the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity on the occasion of its 
                           100th Anniversary.

Whereas the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity was founded on November 2, 1909, by 
        Warren A. Cole at Boston University;
Whereas Lambda Chi Alpha provides students of good moral character, in various 
        collegiate institutions throughout the United States, an opportunity to 
        associate;
Whereas the fraternity fosters a high moral and spiritual standard of life based 
        on Christian ideals;
Whereas the fraternity promotes honorable friendship and cultivates intellectual 
        excellence;
Whereas the fraternity secures for members the greatest advantages in college 
        life;
Whereas the fraternity facilitates brotherly love, mutual aid, and close 
        personal connections between undergraduates, alumni, and colleges;
Whereas Lambda Chi Alpha binds its members together during college, as well as 
        in life after college, through mutual interests and enjoyments and by 
        testing each member to act with courage, self-control, obedience, 
        democracy, and courtesy toward all with whom he may come in contact;
Whereas Lambda Chi Alpha is one of the largest men's general fraternities in 
        North America, having more than 265,000 initiated members and more than 
        200 active subsidiaries at colleges and universities;
Whereas Lambda Chi Alpha offers a co-curricular experience to complement higher 
        education by providing young men with opportunities for academic 
        achievement, leadership development, and lifelong friendships; and
Whereas the fraternity boasts two Nobel Prize Winners, two Medal of Honor 
        recipients, three Peabody Award Winners, and a former Supreme Court 
        Justice: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity on the 
        occasion of its 100th Anniversary; and
            (2) recognizes the members of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity 
        for their work and dedication to making the fraternity an 
        outstanding and honorable association.
