Lambda Lambda Lambda (ΛΛΛ or Tri-Lambs) is a national collegiate co-ed social fraternity founded on January 15th, 2006 at University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut by students Nick Carroll, Mark Allatin, Andrew Burke, Jabaree Dunham-Carson, Chris Hayden, Brian Behrens, Nick Ivanoff, Matt Mainella, Lisa Weand, and Garrett Waldron. Inspired by movies like Revenge of the Nerds and National Lampoon's Animal House, it was established as a fraternity that is dedicated to the enjoyment and enrichment of pop culture and to the brotherhood of the members. Tri-Lambs does not discriminate based on race, sex, gender, religion, class, or sexual orientation.
In Fall 2011, the Alpha Chapter inducted their Iota Class, bringing their historical numbering to 64. The fraternity was founded on the grounds of changing what a fraternity is back to its original meaning. The "openness of the fraternity" leads it to be a place in which to create a "network of support" among its brothers.[1]
It started as a student group at the university and has become more and more recognized by people at the university. The induction of the Beta Chapter at SUNY Buffalo in Fall 2008 as well as the combined induction of three new chapters at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Western Washington University, and Bowie State University on January 14th, 2012 has given further recognition to the fraternity.
