Pi Lambda Phi is located at 15 Fraternity Row at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The Chapter was founded in 1925. Pilam has been a traditional power at the University throughout its history. It is usually the highest ranked, or among the highest ranked fraternities, in terms of academics, athletics and service. However, Pilam's greatest appeal is the unusually strong bonds of its brotherhood. Pilam has an extremely successful alumni base that are leaders in business, medicine, and law, among other fields. The Fraternity is currently closed but will be
reopening in the fall of 2000.
Pilam has been featured in many national media outlets including Sports Illustrated, CNN, WQAM, and USA Today.
