It is with the heaviest of hearts that Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, Inc. (NAK) announces the passing of Brother Christopher Falcon, president of the Rho Chapter at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). On Nov. 29, 2025, he entered the Omega Chapter, forever becoming part of the eternal bonds of Nu Alpha Kappa.
Falcon, crossing number ΡΠ #153, joined the brotherhood as part of Pi line in Spring 2024. As the anchor of the Pi line, Falcon served as a steady force for his line and his chapter. Brothers across Rho Chapter credit him as a guiding light, a driving source of strength, and a leader who inspired many to become NAKs.
Falcon previously served as executive vice president, where he built meaningful connections with campus partners and student communities. His efforts strengthened the fraternity’s presence at UCLA and deepened its partnerships across the campus landscape.
This year, as chapter president, Falcon led with purpose and conviction. He challenged his chapter to live the fraternity’s pillars not as ideals, but as daily practice. His commitment to service, social justice and community uplift was unwavering. He pushed those around him to be better men, better brothers and better leaders.
“Chris always pushed me to be better and to hold myself accountable. Without him, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. He cared deeply about the people around him and always wanted the best for his brothers. Whenever I doubted myself, Chris was the first to remind me why I shouldn’t. He believed in me, especially during the moments when I struggled to believe in myself,” said Ivan Orellana (Rho Omicron #148), internal vice president of Rho Chapter. “It still doesn’t feel real that he’s gone. I saw him as family — as my brother — and I’m grateful that we built such a strong, unforgettable bond. I’ll cherish every memory we shared. Moving forward, I’ll carry his words with me, and I promise to become and achieve everything we talked about.”
“Christopher led with heart. He poured himself into his chapter, his community and every brother he encountered. His light touched all of us, and his legacy will remain a source of strength for Nu Alpha Kappa. We ask our brothers across the nation to honor him by living the values he championed,” said Carlos Mendoza, CEO and president of NAK.
Falcon’s light was profound, his heart was generous, and his impact on the fraternity is lasting.
To brothers of NAK across the nation, and to every friend, ally and community member touched by his leadership and spirit, we ask that you join us in honoring his life. Continue living our pillars with purpose. Serve your communities boldly. Lead with heart. Carry forward the values he embodied.
NAK’s National Executive Board will share information regarding memorial services and chapter support as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, we encourage those who are able to support the Falcon family during this difficult time. For brothers, students and community members seeking support, we urge you to connect with your campus mental health and wellness resources.
