The purpose of Alpha Kappa Lambda at the University of Connecticut can be simply stated as an organization founded to facilitate the opportunity to develop the individual; successful in his career, family and community. In the modern atmosphere of collegiate life, the adherence to familial and righteous values is a challenge that few can accomplish alone. Alpha Kappa Lambda at the University of Connecticut provides an environment conducive to those values, deeply rooted in the Five Ideals that all members come to know: leadership, loyalty, scholarship, self-support, and Judeo-Christian principles.
