History
Since 1985 Alpha Psi Lambda has been the first and largest co-ed fraternity in the nation. Zeta
chapter was founded at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1993, and since then has worked
for the needs and concerns of Latino/a students. As a Latino based organization, we understand
how difficult it is to pay for higher education, especially when one might not receive federal
funds. This is why, as an organization, Alpha Psi Lambda will recognize one new student in
good academic standing who demonstrates outstanding leadership skills regardless of residential
status. In addition, preference will be given to individuals who demonstrate financial need. The
Noble brothers and sisters of Alpha Psi Lambda at Zeta Chapter are proud to announce our first
Alpha Psi Lambda scholarship for $1000.
