Lambda Phi Epsilon is one of Columbia's several multicultural fraternities, and one of its two Asian-interest fraternities. The fraternity is recognized by the Multicultural Greek Council, and its members are known as Lambdas. The chapter was founded on April 17, 1999 at Columbia University.
The members of Lambda Phi Epsilon National Fraternity strive to promote Asian-American awareness in its surrounding communities through the promotion of Asian-American interest activities. Such events include philanthropic causes, educating the community, and preserving Asian-American culture. Since its inception, Lambda Phi Epsilon's goals have been to exemplify the highest standards of academic performance, social experience, service to the community, and most importantly brotherhood among its members.
Columbia Lambda Phi Epsilon is a tight-knit group with dedicated involvement in a majority of Asian cultural groups on campus: Chinese Students Club, TASA, KSA, etc.
In November 2012, the Brownstone Review Committee awarded the fraternity one of the three vacant brownstones on 114th Street—542, formerly occupied by Psi U.
