Founded in 2013, the ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Chapter, located in Sterling, VA, in the Washington DC metro area, is one of the fastest growing Chapters in the United States.  With a membership ranging in age from the early 20's to the 90's, the Chapter serves over 50 members.  

Our name is an ancient Greek phrase that dates back to the year 480 BC, at the Battle of Thermopylae.  This epic battle took place between a few thousand Greek soldiers and thousands and thousands of invading forces, who greatly outnumbered the Greeks.  The leader of the invading force, in an effort to coerce the Greeks into surrender, encouraged King Leonidas, the leader of the 300 Spartans, to surrender and give up their weapons. Leonidas' response? Molon Lave, which translated to Come and Get Them.  According to historians, the result of that battle has helped to shape western civilization into what it is today. Molon Lave is a phrase that has inspired throughout the centuries a sense of dignity and pride, and a unique perception of life.

Coming from many backgrounds devoted to giving back to the community through many initiatives, we work very closely with the Holy Apostles Greek Orthodox Church with most of the Brothers are also church members.

The Chapter also holds monthly meetings, social events, and drives community outreach programs.  Thank you very much for visiting us as we look forward to seeing our Chapter continue to grow and further expand its local support efforts.
