Purpose

The fundamental purpose of Sigma Lambda Chi is to provide recognition to outstanding students in construction curricula. Sigma Lambda Chi has three objectives to enhance and support its fundamental purpose:

• The first is to render service to the major field of study. This is accomplished by active student participation in tasks and events that affect the construction program.
• The second objective is to develop good relations among campus, industry, and the public. Undertaking projects which further this purpose is expected of members of Sigma Lambda Chi.
• The third objective is to recognize outstanding professional individuals in construction. Sigma Lambda Chi has honorary membership classifications that can be bestowed upon individuals who deserve special recognition because of their contribution to construction education or some facet of the construction industry.

History

Sigma Lambda Chi is a society that strongly holds to, and builds upon, the history and traditions upon which it was founded. Sigma Lambda Chi was founded by a group of individuals from Michigan State University, in the Housing and Merchandising curriculum who were interested in the enhancement of the construction profession. The first chapter, Alpha Chapter, was established on April 30, 1949. The Alpha Chapter developed the general guidelines by which the society is governed today. The organization was founded for the fundamental purpose of recognizing outstanding students locally and internationally for their academic accomplishments as a construction major. There are 58 chapters across the nation and in Australia, with over 14114 members. The latest information about the organization can be found on the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) website.

The local chapter (Iota II) at East Carolina University was chartered in 1986 and has 536 members, 61 of which are current students.
