The Lions of Judah is a male household founded at Ave Maria University that exists to cultivate the heart of man. Our bar is sanctity, desiring to become the best fathers that we can be. Becoming a member means taking on a certain lifestyle and developing personal habits to reshape the way you see the world. This is so that the good may put the evil into context instead of letting evil overshadow the good.
