Sigma Chi Zeta Lambda 60th Anniversary Brick Fundraiser
As we celebrate 60 years of brotherhood at Sigma Chi Zeta Lambda, we invite our alumni to be part of a lasting legacy. Through our engraved brick fundraiser, you can permanently commemorate your time in Zeta Lambda, honor a brother, or recognize a meaningful moment in our chapter’s history.
Each engraved brick will be installed as part of a dedicated display near the chapter house, serving as a permanent tribute to the generations of brothers who built this chapter. Proceeds directly support our 60th Anniversary Celebration and future chapter initiatives.
Your name. Your class. Your legacy.
