In Season 7 of Queer Eye, the Fab Five encounters Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity brothers: Cooper Lemon, Josh Johnson, Ryan Parker, Josh Allen, and Ian Raybourn at the University of New Orleans to fix a frat house. According to alumni advisor Marco Perez, the boys are nice youngsters who are very philanthropic, and Lambda Chi Alpha is probably the most active chapter in terms of community service.

Seniors Ian Raybourn and Josh Allen had nominated their frat for a transformation because they wanted to make a positive change but didn’t know where to begin. That’s because, despite being young adults away from home at university, the brothers had never learned to be independent, let alone take care of themselves or their surroundings. However, because they knew the type of men they wanted to be, they decided to seek some much-needed assistance.
When Antoni Porowski, Tan France, Karamo Brown, Bobby Berk, and Jonathan Van Ness first arrive, it appears that the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity brothers face an uphill struggle. When the Queer Eye crew arrives at 2 p.m., all of the current members are still sleeping, and the cast quips that the house is full of lost boys, who are sleeping in every dirty crevice they can find before waking them up.
The frat boys talk about how the fundraiser money will be used for brotherhood getaways and philanthropic initiatives. They eventually clean up, learn how to cook a muffuletta sandwich with Antoni, and have a heart-to-heart with Karamo, during which Demario discusses his personal and financial difficulties.
The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity brothers hold what appears to be a successful alumni mixer, with several former members vowing to donate to the fraternity.

Over 5,000 dollars and over 450 pounds of canned food raised for @feedingamerica, breaking a new chapter record! Thank you to all the sororities who participated, none of this would be complete without y’all.
As a fraternity, they’ve naturally kept up with a slew of social gatherings. They went mini-golfing with a sister fraternity, went to a spring dance, conducted a goofy tug-of-war event, and graduated together in Alabama in March.
Regarding the members portrayed on the show, Marco was elected president of UNO’s Interfraternity Council in January, which supervises all fraternities on campus. Ian and Josh A. appear to be on track to graduate at the end of the spring 2023 semester. Tan’s new outfit will undoubtedly come in handy on the big day.
