Mission Statement
Lambda Sigma Gamma is an academic, community, and social sorority. It is a network of women in higher education seeking to make university life less lonesome and more supportive for all women. Unity within the sorority is enhanced by weekend retreats, community service, educational and social programs, and meetings. Lambda Sigma Gamma members have found that the sorority is a place to find lasting friendships, community involvement, academic support, and the development of leadership skills.
Lambda Sigma Gamma is a Multicultural Sorority that encourages diversity in culture, major, and personal beliefs. It is through acceptance and understanding of other cultures, interest, and lifestyles that Lambda Sigma Gamma is strong and united.
Multiculturalism
We, the members of Lambda Sigma Gamma, believe that multicultural is not just a word, rather a deep rooted feeling which lies in our hearts. We, as individuals, have come together from different parts of the world. We are from different creeds, ethnic groups, and social-economic backgrounds. Our physical talents and mental abilities vary, and we may have different sexual preferences. It is within these differences that we choose to unite our lives and share our dreams, in hope to educate one another and better ourselves. We will always consider the challenges in meeting our goals when striving to bring together women from diverse worlds under the spirit of multiculturalism from Lambda Sigma Gamma.
