Local Alumni Associations
Local Alumni Associations, or LAAs, have become important parts of Brotherhood. They allow alumni to remain active after leaving their Chapter, whether for the purpose of continued service to the community, to the Fraternity, or for the simple pleasure of continued social interactions with fellow Brothers. LAAs are playing an increasingly important role in Delta Lambda Phi.
