ChopTalk Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Zach Johnson, High Theta at the University of Arkansas -- one of Lambda Chi's largest Chapters. Zach shares how his Chapter turns philanthropy and service into a cornerstone of their Brotherhood, raising thousands for local causes and inspiring real change in their community.

From organizing large scale events to building lasting partnerships with nonprofits and other Greek organizations, Zach offers insight on how Chapters of any size can make service more meaningful, sustainable, and connected to Lambda Chi's values.

In this episode of ChopTalk, we recognize National Hazing Prevention Week and explore Lambda Chi Alpha’s longstanding commitment to creating a safe and supportive Brotherhood.

Our guests, Jacob Mueller, Associate Director of Chapter Support, and Hailey Flavin, Director of Harm Reduction & University Relations, discuss Lambda Chi’s history as one of the first fraternities to eliminate pledging, the ongoing work to prevent hazing, and how members and chapters can continue to lead by example.

In this episode, we sit down with Lambda Chi Alpha Organizational Sales Manager and former High Delta Trevor Nicholas (South Dakota Mines, '18) to explore how to elevate recruitment and strengthen brotherhood. Trevor shares practical strategies and lessons from both his professional role and chapter experience to help every Brother recruit with purpose and build a lasting bond.

In this episode, we sit down with five of Lambda Chi Alpha’s summer interns—our 2025 Farkas Fellows—to hear about their experiences working at the International Headquarters. From major projects to behind-the-scenes moments, they share how this opportunity shaped their leadership skills, strengthened their connection to the Fraternity, and prepared them for life after college.

In this debut episode of Advisors in Action, a new segment of the ChopTalk Podcast, meet the Lambda Chi Alpha Volunteer Support Team and learn how they're working to empower and equip our incredible Alumni volunteers.

This episode also features a conversation with longtime volunteer Dave Arland (Butler, '85) who shares what inspired him to stay involved, the impact he's seen on Undergraduate Brothers, and what keeps him coming back to serve.
