The Xi Lambda Lambda Chapter was the first recipient of the Rudolph W. Powell Creativity Award for Retention at the 63rd Second District conference.  The purpose of the award is to recognize those chapters that have created "substantive programs" that have a practical importance, value or effect upon the individual financial members of the chapter or their family members.  Initiated in January 2008, the Xi Lambda Lambda Book Award is held in honor of the Fraternity's mandated program of scholarship.  All chapter brothers that have been financial with the chapter for the current and previous year, and have a child that is graduating from high school will be granted with a $250 book award.  The award may be used for a four-year college, community college, technical or vocational school.   This scholarship program is intended to promote academic excellence among family members of Xi Lambda Lambda Chapter.  In the near future, the Xi Lambda Lambda Chapter will conduct an annual scholarship luncheon to provide financial assistance to deserving seniors from each of the local high schools in Rockland County, New York.  Students will be selected for their academic achievement and extracurricular activities.
