Alpha Lambda Mu

Alpha Lambda Mu (ΑΛΜ) (ألم: Alif Laam Meem in Arabic) is the first national Muslim fraternity in America.

[3] Later that month, seventeen members were admitted with a ceremony that included being knighted with a red kufi cap and donating a $100 initiation fee to a charity.

[3] Because of its affiliation with Islam, Alpha Lambda Mu is atypical of most social collegiate Greek letter organizations; it prohibits alcohol, hazing, most co-ed events, adultery, or fornication.

[1] Its service activities include picking up litter, distributing water to the homeless, and a nationwide campaign raising funds and combating domestic violence.

[1][14] The Alpha chapter has provided food and supplies after a fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas and helped clean up after tornados in Moore, Oklahoma.

[14] On March 24, 2013, Alpha chapter confronted negative stereotypes of Muslim Men when they joined a protest against domestic violence in Dallas, Texas.

Dylan Hollingsworth (videographer) and Wheeler Sparks (director) released Kufi Krew: An American Story, a documentary about the fraternity.

[14] Hollingsworth said, "We knew that this community was a really powerful vehicle through which you could examine the Muslim American identity and maybe answer some questions for people who really don’t know a lot about that.
