   On August 24, 2009, Janet Liang was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia while finishing her bachelor’s degree as an International Development Studies major and Education minor. A loving and dedicated friend to many who knew her at UCLA, she was a healthy, hardworking, and extremely passionate student who fell victim to this blood cancer at only 22-years old. Rushed to the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center immediately after her diagnosis, she has just recently completed the induction phase of her chemotherapy treatment, which is often the most difficult for patients to endure. Now she is faced with the daunting task of searching for an unrelated bone marrow donor after doctors revealed that her younger brother and only sibling is not her match.
   Janet wants to be able to fulfill her dreams of becoming a full-time teacher. She is deeply committed to addressing social justice issues in multicultural education and bridging the educational achievement gap transparent in today’s schools. However, she is hilarious at unexpected moments: this girl is not serious as she seems and relishes in the small joys of life with her contagious laughter. A natural humanitarian at heart who aspires to also work in relief efforts in the developing world, she constantly worries and looks after others before thinking about herself. But now, she is in dire need of YOUR help to save her life and other patients as well.
   DID YOU KNOW?:
   - Only 7% of Asian Americans in the United States are registered in the National Bone Marrow Donor Program.
   WE, TOGETHER AS THE UC DAVIS COMMUNITY, CAN STAND UP AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

3. How did we become a national fraternity?

   According to Doug Nishida of Delta Chapter, this is how it happened:

   “Lambda Phi Epsilon’s reputation was fast growing as evidenced by a phone call during my chapter’s second year (1989). An interest group from Buffalo, NY had inquired about the fraternity and possible affiliation. Unfortunately, we were unprepared to assist the group because of our limited resources and lack of proximity. Thus nothing came to fruition. So it was with great satisfaction that I learned the group was still interested in affiliating with Lambda Phi Epsilon a couple of years later. The Texas chapter independently contacted Craig Ishigo and received their charter. Michigan soon followed as some of their Founders befriended a group of Stanford brothers aboard the infamous Love Boat.”

4. Community Serivce

   Philanthropy is an important aspect of Lambda Phi Epsilon. Giving back to the community is something we strive to do. The signature philanthropic event of Lambda Phi Epsilon is the annual registering drive for the Asian American Donor Program (AADP). This helps promote awareness for leukemia and other blood disorders, whose patients require bone marrow transplants. Their best hope for matched donors are those within their Asian community. The more people that register, the better the chances of finding a match for those in need.

   Along with AADP, Lambda Phi Epsilon works with other organizations to register potential donors across the country, including Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches and the Cammy Lee Leukemia Foundation. Although the registration of potential donors is the fraternity’s national philanthropy, it is also active in many other charitable causes from annual AIDS Walks to beach clean ups to cultural events promoting Asian awareness and diversity.
