ROOTED IN TUCSON. CONNECTED ACROSS GENERATIONS.

A legacy built here.
A story still unfolding.

The Tucson Alphas’ history joins an alumni chapter founded in 1962 with a college chapter established in 1968—and the generations who carry their work forward.

1962

MARCH 20 · ETA PSI LAMBDA

A chapter for Tucson.

The Tucson alumni chapter grew from the presence of Alpha men in Arizona and their connection to Delta Tau Lambda. Morgan Maxwell, Sr. and Charles Todd are identified in the chapter’s history as instrumental in forming Eta Psi Lambda.

Chartered as chapter key 277, Eta Psi Lambda established a permanent local home for alumni brotherhood and service.
