Education Team
The Education Team at Lambda Phi Epsilon IU Bloomington is dedicated to providing academic support and guidance to its members. Recognizing the importance of education in shaping future leaders, this team worked closely with brothers to ensure they excel in their studies. Whether it’s organizing study sessions, offering support, or providing valuable advice on time management and study strategies, the Education Team strived to create an environment where academic success is not only encouraged but also achievable.
The education team consisted of one New Member Educator, and two Assistant New Member educators, who made the weekly drive to Bloomington to help these six men achieve the enormous task of chartering the chapter.
Those three men are:
“Being y’all’s ANME was probably the biggest honour I’ve experienced of being a Lambda. It’s been so rewarding to get to meet each and every one of these fine men, and getting them grow makes me excited to see what they achieve in the future” - Harrison Thow, ANME
“It was truly an honor to be an Assistant New Member Educator for the Indiana Charter Class. These guys not only showed their dedication, but I also appreciated their commitment in joining the brotherhood. These guys bring a lot of determination and enthusiasm. I am proud of these guys and excited for what they’ll accomplish in the future!” - Andy Garcia, ANME
In conclusion, the chartering of Lambda Phi Epsilon at Indiana University Bloomington marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with growth, camaraderie, and positive contributions to campus life. The fraternity’s commitment to brotherhood, cultural awareness, and community engagement positions it as a valuable addition to the vibrant tapestry of IU Bloomington. Here’s to the success and prosperity of Lambda Phi Epsilon at Indiana University Bloomington!
