The Virginia Omicron Zeta Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was founded at Virginia Tech in 1984. We are close-knit brotherhood that takes pride in the fact that we are a smaller fraternity, allowing the brothers to get to know each other better. As a smaller fraternity, leadership positions within the fraternity are open to new members. We are very active in intramural sports, participating in many sports throughout the year. Pi Lam has continuously been in the running for the coveted 'Hokie Grail' and proudly holds two grails. Through philanthropies such as the March of Dimes, we show our commitment to giving back to the community. As a non-sectarian fraternity, Pi Lam contains brothers of diverse backgrounds that hold common the founding principle of Pi Lambda Phi:

The Creed of Pi Lambda Phi
That All men are created free and equal.
That No society of man can flourish unless members of that society are endowed with the opportunities and privileges of freedom.
That Freedom implies the elimination of prejudice, the elimination of prejudice means a better understanding 'twixt men.
That It is incumbent upon me to fight for such freedom even with my life.
That It is incumbent upon me in my personal life to be devoted to the highest standards of honesty and justice.
That because my country is dedicated to the highest standards of freedom and justice for all men of all creeds, I hereby pledge allegiance to my country and to its national symbol.
