Pi Lambda Phi - Theta Xi Chapter of Radford University
(As a Social-Fratrernity we welcome all to Like our page)
Pi Lambda Phi was founded at Yale University in 1895 as the first non-sectarian (non-discriminatory) Fraternity in the US. Pi Lam was the first fraternity to not discriminate based on religion.
Their idea of a non-sectarian fraternity that did not discriminate on religion in 1895 (Several decades before the civil-rights movement). This idea was so radical at the time that it got them kicked out of Yale. Prior to Pi Lambda Phi only White men of the Protestant-Christian faith were accepted into Greek organizations.
We are seeking brothers that can live by the creed of our fraternity;
" 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. "
