Lambda Alpha International, formerly the International Fraternity of Lambda Alpha,
was established on February 23, 1931 at Northwestern University by a group of students
of land economics and real estate as an honorary professional fraternity to foster
the study of land economics. The first chapter, the Ely Chapter in Chicago, was named
after Dr. Richard T. Ely for his role as "Father of Land Economics." Other chapters
include the George Washington Chapter, Washington, D.C.; the Dixie States Chapter,
Atlanta, Georgia; the Flagler Chapter, Miami, Florida; the Golden Gate Chapter, San
Francisco, California; the Simcoe Chapter, Toronto, Canada; and the Los Angeles, Philadelphia,
San Diego, Honolulu, Tulsa, Minneapolis, New York City, Phoenix, Seattle, and St.
Louis Chapters. Membership is by invitation and election only.
Early records consist of a scrapbook of clippings and memorabilia, 1931-1933, and
membership lists. Other records of the organization date from 1949 to the present
and consist of the charter, constitution, bylaws and materials concerning fraternity
history, and bylaws of regional chapters. Also, financial records; correspondence
of the presidents' secretaries; chapter records including notices and reports of meetings;
agendas and minutes of business and special meetings, and membership data; photographs
and publications, including the fraternity journal, newsletters, and yearbooks. Includes
records of the Land Economics Foundation and information on the various Biennial Congresses
of Lambda Alpha.
