Long before Brother J. Michael Bishop (Gettysburg, ’57) became a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and a 1990 recipient of Lambda Chi Alpha’s Order of Achievement, he and Brother Bob Schultz (Gettysburg, ’57) were already putting principle into action.
As undergraduates, the two helped advocate for an Honor Code at Gettysburg College built on trust and responsibility. They also traveled to Lambda Chi Alpha’s 24th General Assembly in 1954, where they challenged the Fraternity’s policy at the time excluding Black members.
