ABA steps up to the plate
By Erin May
While you may have not heard of the Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity, several students are associated with it. The group is relatively new on campus but is working to make a positive name for itself in both the campus and the community.
Despite the fact that members call their group the Asian Brother Association, or ABA, members say that it is an interest group for the Asian culture based fraternity, Lambda Phi Epsilon. Instead of only allowing members of Asian descent, the group wants to be associated with "brothers interested in increasing their knowledge of the Asian culture," as their website, www.ku.edu/aba4life, states.
Throughout the year, the ABA participates in various fundraising and community service events. So far this year they have helped volunteer at Late Night with Roy Williams, Salvation Army, and various other groups. One large event the group held was a party at the Granada on November 16, for possible future members to attend. They have also taken several road trips to different schools to interact with other Asian groups across the country.
Lambda Phi Epsilon will have to apply for a bid to become a nationally recognized fraternity.
The ABA has over 20 members, including president Eddie Ham and Vice President Hoag Nguyen. The group meets every Monday at 9 p.m.on the $3^{rd}$ floor of the Kansas Union in Alcove D.
