HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
As you know, the chrysanthemum is the Fraternity flower. But what does it signify? The roots are alumni who provide a strong foundation. The stem represents current members who contribute the framework for new and continual growth. And student members are the blossoms who will grow, develop, and flourish from the support of the roots and stem.
Alumni
We encourage alumnae to branch out and make their dedication to LKS fully bloom by actively contributing to the framework of their own personal and professional growth and for the development of new members.
Contribute Articles to the Blue & Gold Triangle
Do you have an interest in writing or photography? Maybe you have a great idea for a feature story. We are always looking for quality articles and photos for the Blue & Gold Triangle. From professional, industry-related material to member profiles, your contributions are always encouraged. Click here to submit today!
Mentor a Collegiate Chapter
Thinking back to your school days, you’ll remember how much it meant to have a professional pharmacist offer you guidance, support and encouragement.
So why not consider serving as an informal mentor (or even as an official Fraternity Advisor) for the collegiate chapter in your area? (It doesn’t need to be the chapter into which you were initiated.) See if there is a collegiate chapter near you.
Assist with the Annual Convention
Have a great programming idea that you think would be perfect for the next Annual Convention? Or maybe you’d just like to lend a hand on-site? Let us know!
Run for a Grand Council Position
If you are looking for a bigger role, consider serving on one of the six elected positions on Grand Council, the governing body of LKS. The next elections will be held in Fall 2021.
Serve as a Region Supervisor or on a Committee
Region Supervisors are an essential part of LKS leadership because they work directly with the collegiate chapters on management and growth and then report back to the Grand Council. LKS also has many committees that assist the Grand Council with Fraternity operations. Are you an educator? The Continuing Education Committee could benefit from your knowledge and experience. Do you enjoy planning events? Perhaps the Convention Committee is something that would interest you. Do you believe in promoting the LKS Core Value of Scholarship? There are many other committee options for you!
Students
We encourage members to branch out and make their dedication to LKS fully bloom by actively contributing to the framework of their own personal and professional growth. From your local chapter to the national level, LKS offers many opportunities for student members to flourish!
Become a Leader
Future employers desire candidates who possess not only academic knowledge but who also have real-life experiences leading others and working as a team.
Through your chapter, you have many opportunities to develop project-management and team-building skills. Members can offer to oversee a fund-raiser supporting our national philanthropy, Project HOPE, or maybe host a professional seminar for the campus and community focusing on our Women’s Health Issue topic of reproductive health.
Eventually, consider applying for a national committee position!
Become a Chapter Officer
Expand your leadership role even more by running for one of your chapter’s elected positions. It’s a terrific opportunity for you to guide your chapter’s members in participating in leadership programs, volunteering, and events on campus and in your community.

Utilize the LKS Educational Grants Program
The Lambda Kappa Sigma Educational Trust was established in 1974 for the purposes of perpetuating a financial program to assist members in reaching their goals in pharmaceutical education. Each year, the Educational Trust offers grants for undergraduate and graduate students. The application deadline is January 15th annually. It is important for chapter leaders to encourage members to apply for these grants.
