<Title>Fall 2023 Public Health and COVID-19 Update</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><span><p><span>Dear UMBC Community,</span></p>
    <br><p><span>As we enter the fall 2023 semester, UMBC's leadership continues to be committed to the health and well-being of all in our community. We are monitoring the rates of respiratory virus in our community, and are attentive to both COVID-19 rates and influenza, among others. UMBC's health experts routinely engage with county, state, and federal resources to understand trends and current health conditions. </span></p>
    <p><span>As a key part of protecting the health of all on campus, we ask that each of you monitor your health and be careful to avoid exposing others if you have cold or flu symptoms. Consult your healthcare provider or </span><span><span><a href="https://health.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Retriever Integrated Health</a></span></span><span> if you need testing or care. To reduce the spread of infectious diseases on campus, cover your cough, wear a mask, and wash your hands. Minimizing your exposure to others while sick is particularly important as we all strive to protect health-compromised and other vulnerable members of our community. You can minimize exposure to others when sick by staying home if you are a faculty, staff, or student who is commuting to campus or following any related guidelines if you are a student living in residence.</span></p>
    <p><span>In addition, we ask that you continue to </span><strong>Keep Masks in Mind</strong><span>. The university will provide high- quality KN95 masks to those in need. Masks will be available at the RAC, the Library, and The Commons Information Center. If your professor, colleague, or other community member requests that you wear a mask in a classroom, meeting, or other situation, we ask that you respect their wishes and needs.</span></p>
    <p><span>Finally, remember that vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent severe illness. Retriever Integrated Health will be offering both COVID-19 and influenza vaccination clinics throughout the fall. We will share dates and additional information with the community soon. </span></p>
    <p><span>Amid the busyness that the semester can bring, please remember to take care of yourself and prioritize your health and well-being. Thank you for your support of one another and our community as we all work together to stay as healthy as possible.</span></p>

<Title>Lambda Chi Alpha Fall Rush 2023</Title>
<Tagline>ASSOCIATE WITH THE BEST</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>Designed to prepare its members to be leaders for the world, Lambda Chi Alpha has a mission to inspire the highest level of character, values, scholarship, and service in each of its members. Lambda Chi Alpha serves to complement higher education by providing opportunities for academic achievement, leadership development, and lifelong friendships.</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>Rush week is a semesterly initiative intended to recruit undergraduate students of sterling character and high scholastic aptitude. Our events serve as a platform for brothers to meet potential candidates and to address any questions they may have about the fraternity. Students who carry a respectable GPA, are already heavily involved with university organizations, and demonstrate that they possess the maturity and resolve needed to excel academically while being in a social fraternity are considered for bids.</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>At Lambda Chi Alpha, we believe the college experience includes balancing academic and extracurricular activities with an active social life. While the fraternity offers a multitude of academic, leadership, and philanthropic opportunities, the fraternity also presents a myriad of social events and networking opportunities. Over the course of the year, we host dozens of social events that give the brothers and students from neighboring schools a chance to mingle and unwind. For brothers, other social events include mixers with local sororities, formal date evenings, and invite only house events.</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>Lambda Chi Alpha holds its brothers to the highest standard, as such we have been awarded the highest cumulative GPA average among the Interfraternity Council many times. We are the oldest social fraternity at UMBC as well as one of the oldest in the country.</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>As per UMBC's interfraternity council bylaws, students become eligible upon completion of a full semester (minimum 12 credits) at any postsecondary institution. At minimum, candidates who meet our chapter's character and GPA standards are considered. Candidates may then be evaluated based on members' experiences as well as references from sororities, professors, and alumni.</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>For more information, check out our website at:</span><span><br></span><a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.umbclca.com%2F&amp;h=AT28RzjjkOELIf2FfXI_1HG3YZGsMGmqEs2DFZCAn_Q9ueAhV7WLCjGAZVZPpUmnwZkWg3crXAV8NXrbArY8iMGzcwszZSpp1SnS8TjpK77bqPz4dF0M4jos6e2koA" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>http://www.umbclca.com/</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span><br></span></a><span>Fall 2023 Rush Schedule:</span></p>

    <p><span>This is the official page for rushing the Phi-Delta Zeta (UMBC) chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity for the Spring 2023 semester. Lambda Chi Alpha International Fraternity is the 4th largest men's general fraternity in North America with over 280,000 members and more than 200 active chapters (known as Zetas). Lambda Chi Alpha was founded in 1909 at Boston University. As part of its mission to help collegiate men reach their full potential, Lambda Chi Alpha has developed a program known as True Brother. In this program, Associate Members learn about some of the core values which we stand for, which are listed as follows:</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>Loyalty</span><span><br></span><span>Duty</span><span><br></span><span>Respect</span><span><br></span><span>Service and Stewardship</span><span><br></span><span>Honor</span><span><br></span><span>Integrity</span><span><br></span><span>Personal Courage</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>Come out to the events, meet the brothers, and learn what a True Brotherhood is all about. We were the first social fraternity at UMBC, and this being our forty first year, we are also the longest lasting fraternity on campus. We were the first fraternity in the world to abolish hazing and pledges, which is a tradition we carry on today at UMBC with much pride.</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>Just some of the famous members of Lambda Chi Alpha:</span><span><br></span><span><br></span><span>President Harry S. Truman-33rd President of the US</span><span><br></span><span>Kenny Chesney-Country Music Legend</span><span><br></span><span>Mark Brunell- NFL Quarterback/Superbowl Champion</span><span><br></span><span>Joe Philbin - Head Coach, Miami Dolphins</span><span><br></span><span>Charles Kelley - Country Musician, Lady Antebellum</span><span><br></span><span>Brett Eldredge - Country Music Rising Star</span><span><br></span><span>Henry Iba - College Basketball Hall of Fame (Coach)</span><span><br></span><span>Woody Paige - Sports Columnist</span><span><br></span><span>William Rasmusssen - Founder ESPN</span><span><br></span><span>Johnathon Schueach - Actor (UMBC)</span><span><br></span><span>BF Skinner - Notable Psychologist</span><span><br></span><span>Thomas D.
