Over the 29 years of our fraternitys existence, we have expanded immeasurably. OurBrotherhood has endured in the face of controversy. Time and time again, we see thatthe essence of Lambda Phi Epsilon thrives on the familial bonds shared by all brothersnationwide. We hope to instill this message in brothers from all chapters as we enter anew decade that demands solidarity from coast to coast.

This years convention will take p lace in San Francisco, a world-class tourist destinationand Americas leading cultural center. The city presents an endless array of attractionsthat are uniquely San Franciscan: the Golden Gate Bridge, Cable Cars, the Fishermans

Wharf, and so on. The vista views are breathtaking. The art scene is unmatched. Thefood is sublime. Convention 2010 will blow your mind.
