Lambda Phi Epsilon was founded on February 25, 1981, by Master Craig Ishigo and a group of eighteen other dedicated men on the campus of University of California, Los Angeles. By forming Lambda Phi Epsilon as a new Asian American fraternity, the founders hoped to set new and higher standards of excellence for all Asian interest organizations to follow. The goal of the founders was to transcend the limitations to which traditional Asian American organizations were subject. They sought to draw their membership from all of the diverse segments of the Asian American community. Their vision was that members would eventually become leaders in their respective communities and bridge gaps fragmenting the Asian American community through their affiliation with a common organization. Unknowingly, their efforts had set the stage for the emergence of the largest organization of its kind.
