The men of Lambda Chi Alpha have learned how to show their school spirit over their time here. It is shown in many ways including their appearance at sporting events, support of the teams on and off the field, and even with the Beat Down to the Beat Down.
“The purpose of the drum is to add a sense of school spirit throughout the week of Homecoming,” said Alex Elliott, Lambda Chi Alpha new member educator.
The Beat Down to the Beat Down is the beating of a base drum the entire week of Homecoming all the way up until kick off or until the there have been 3,000 pounds of food donated to Lambda Chi Alpha.
“I think it’s for a good cause, since they’re raising cans to donate to the food bank and a fun way to count down to Homecoming,” said Megan Edmonds, parade chairman on the student Homecoming committee. “I also think the Lambda Chi’s are very dedicated to do it 24 hours a day all week.”
The men of Lambda Chi Alpha have endured the bitter cold nights, theft and even an egging this week in an attempt to raise the bar for school spirit. The entire fraternity agreed that it is more than worth the work.
