Alpha Lamda Mu, a new Fraternity in University of Texas has put a whole new definition to the lived social experience of a university student. Alpha Lamda Mu, also referred to as Alif Laam Meem is a fraternity started to integrate muslim students into the lived American university experience while simultaneously integrating values of their faith, Islam. I think this is a great move; American muslims feel a disconnect when it comes to 'Western culture' and their 'faith'. Not only that, but constant struggle and disconnected at an intergenerational level from their parents and their culture. The existence of a muslim fraternity can help young Muslim students find a place where they can develop themselves spiritually and culturally with like mind individuals. This move, for building faith based fraternities depicts the increase in institutional completeness Muslims are attaining within the Americas. I hope, it will not be far enough, that other religious groups can grow that level of awareness and social capital to also be presented in common 'western university life' to show that they too are common faces in the overal human landscape of the Americas. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/05/alif-laam-meem-america-first-muslim-fraternity_n_3865722.html?utm_hp_ref=islam
