Founded at Yale University in 1895, Pi Lambda Phi (Pilam) was the first non-sectarian fraternity in the United States, accepting men of good character without regard to race or religion. Today, Pilam chapters at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada cultivate a brotherhood that promotes academics, community service, philanthropic engagement, leadership development, financial responsibility, social skills, and lifelong relationships. These values and the skills learned through the process help Pilam men succeed in their post-graduate endeavors. All of this is offered to undergraduate members in an environment free from hazing and drug & alcohol abuse.

The NY Alpha Tau chapter at Hofstra University was founded in 2016, in an effort to spread the ideas of the Pi Lambda Phi University. We strive to have the most diverse and friendly brotherhood, where each brother is respected and loved. In the upcoming years, we are planning great events that are deemed to spread our ideas to Hofstra's campus.
