For diagnosed patients living with leukemia or any other blood disorder, the odds of finding an appropriate match are already slim; their best chance of finding a matching donor lies within their own ethnic community. Brothers of Lambda Phi Epsilon at the University of Washington give back to the Asian community every year by registering over hundreds of people to their bone marrow drives (the fraternity's national philanthropy). Because Asians make up just a small fraction of the national bone marrow registry, every chapter of Lambda Phi Epsilon organizes annual drives on campus to inform, educate, and recruit potential donors. By increasing the number of Asians in the national bone marrow registry, Lambda Phi Epsilon continues to save the lives of Asian patients by matching them with compatible donors. Lambda Phi Epsilon is the only internationally recognized Asian American fraternity in the world, known for providing outstanding leadership, philanthropy, and advocacy in the community.
