The Lambda-Zeta Zeta chapter here in Jackson, Tennesee is one of the relatively young
chapters in our Fraternity. Brother Sam Gutherie ZQ 218 transferred
to Union University sometime after he was initiated in the chapter at Memphis State University. After
arriving at Union he met a pledge of ATW, Jerry Thompson, who was dissatisfied with
his fraternal experience and decided to drop out. The two became friends and decided to try to
form a chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha at Union. With faculty support from Warren F. Jones and Frank
Blythe, they began a colony here in Jackson on May 15, 1961. The colony proved to be good ground
in which the precepts of Lambda Chi Alpha could faithfully flourish and on December 5, 1964 the
colony received its charter, making it the Lambda-Zeta Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha. Since that time
the chapter has initiated nearly 500 men into the bond of brotherhood and the Zeta is continuing
to make even greater strides.
