AMMA
LAMBDA is a fraternity composed of band men, and was
organized at the University of Nebraska in 1912. At
the time of its organization this fraternity was local
in character but became nationalized in 1920 when a
chapter was installed at the University of Florida.
The object of this fraternity is to unite the members
of the band into a common organization, to promote
good fellowship and brotherhood among its members, and
to work for the development and betterment of the
college bands throughout the United States, and in
particular, the University of Nebraska.
Gamma Lambda is
active also in promoting and sponsoring concerts
played by the band and in handling its business
affairs.
The founders of this,
the Alpha chapter of the fraternity, were Everett
Lanphere, Luther G. Andrews, and Boyd Edwards.
Each year new members
of Gamma Lambda are chosen from incoming members of
the band, they being selected on the basis of the
interest they have shown in the band and their ability
as musicians.
