Gamma Beta Lambda

Gamma Beta Lambda

Gamma Beta Lambda Fraternity, also commonly known as Gammahouse, is a men's fraternal organization founded on October 2, 1963. It is an autonomous, non-IFC/NIC fraternity that operates on a regional-local rather than college-local operational plan. Gamma Beta Lambda operates in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Founding philosophy

Gamma Beta Lambda tradition began as a ‘secret’ society of postgraduate college and university men. Its founding philosophy was simple: To provide a secure and supportive network environment to a group of honorable gentlemen. Originally a blending of ideals from its Aboriginal and European-Canadian founders, Gamma Beta Lambda promoted a "Fraternity with a difference" philosophy right from the start. Gammahouse's Founders relied little on the 'traditional’ college fraternity model, and instead focused on the needs of Warrior scholars in a ‘real world’ environment.

Backgrounds

The men of Gamma Beta Lambda have always come from variety of cultural, spiritual and academic backgrounds and the fraternity has never discriminated against potential brothers based on race, religion, culture or sexual preferences. Gammahouse takes its 'fraternity with a difference' philosophy further and considers men of all ages and walks of life - including non-traditional, part time and even non college men.Gamma Beta Lambda also differs from many mainstream fraternities in that from a service perspective Gammahouse serves its own membership rather than focusing on any particular philanthropy.

Present day

By the 1970s Gamma Beta Lambda shed much of its secret society image, though it remained a semi-private, ‘off-campus’ entity. It was not until the end of the 20th Century that a more traditional 'college' concept was integrated and some brothers began to be recruited from several Vancouver college campuses. Gammahouse remains true to its origins though, and is still primarily an 'off campus' fraternity at this time.
