The Fraternity of Alpha Kappa Lambda

About Alpha Kappa Lambda Across The Nation

"The digitization of information in all its forms will probably be known as the most fascinating development of the twentieth century."

Communication. Communication is at the heart of everything that we do as a fraternity. Communication controls everything that we do, all the way from making dinner arrangements for recruitment to sending reports to the national office. It becomes obvious, then, that clear, concise, and rapid communication should be an integral part of our operations both personally and as a fraternity.

Almost all college students have at their disposal a very powerful resource: the Internet. The Internet is a world-wide computer-based communication network, that allows for instantaneous transfer of information to practically everywhere. You are using it right now; the information you are seeing is coming directly from the University of Arkansas. The Internet presents to us an incredible resource of communication, all at completely no cost to college students. Until recently, however, little attempt had been made to utilize this most powerful communication resource for the benefit of our national fraternity. This is the basis of the Alpha Kappa Lambda Across the Nation program (AKLatn for short), sponsored and maintained by Alpha Mu Chapter.

For AKLatn, we have adapted some very common, easy to use Internet utilities for use in constructing a nation-wide communication network. These involve an electronic mail listserver, which allows the posting of messages for distribution to all those people subscribed to the list, and a WWW home page that you are viewing right now. These are amazingly easy to use utilities that truly unleash some of the potential of the Internet in a way that can be incredibly useful to us as members of Alpha Kappa Lambda.

Since communication is such a vital part of our everyday lives, we think that every possible resource should be used. In this case, the Internet can solve many of our communication woes quickly and effectivley, and at practically no cost. This is a resource that we can not afford to waste.

Such is the premise of the AKLatn program. Please, use it, enjoy it, and integrate it into your daily fraternity operations. By using these resources, we can truly revolutionize the way we work as a fraternity.
