What is Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc.?

 

In 1975, 17 women who were eager to be at the forefront of an era of a new educational, political and social consciousness convened to discuss the formation of a sorority for Latina women. Its focus would be to actively integrate itself into the social, political and community service arena that other students had been involved with. Together, they could collaborate and assist with any student-run programs, thus making their voices as loud as the majority voice and their concerns equally as important. Thanks to the tremendous strides made by our 17 founding mothers, this dream of creating a sisterhood that would cater to the needs of Latinas and, more importantly, the Universal Woman, was realized, and took form as the entity: Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated, the first Latina sorority in the nation.
