Alumni Meeting Recap

The BZ Alumni Association met on February 16 in the A.K. Hinds University Center, where we began discussions on celebrating our 50th Anniversary in 2020.

The first Beta Zeta speaking with some of the newest.
(L-R) Wilson Boyd, BZ 1, Robbie Hallman, BZ 822, and Patrick Gardner, BZ 808

We were honored to have two founding members, Wilson Boyd, BZ 1, and Gary Dills, BZ 5, who shared the story of the early days of Lambda Chi Alpha on the campus of Western Carolina University. While the fraternity was chartered in 1970, it was a two-year process from the founding of the local fraternity, Sigma Tau Sigma, in 1967 to the colonization and official recognition from the national fraternity.

Many eras of our fraternity were on hand and provided great ideas on a celebration befitting of this milestone in our fraternity’s history. The 50th Anniversary Celebration will be held at the Crown Plaza Resort in Asheville on June 26-28, 2020.

You are invited to join us as we remain BROTHERS FOR LIFE!
