Catalysts for change, these seventeen women came together by chance and stayed together by choice, forming the first Latin sorority in the nation. The founders of Lambda Theta Alpha are more than historical icons, to whom sisters pay homage. They are distinguished within their professions and continue to assits their community on social, political, and educational levels.
Their vision to establish a sorority based on unity, love, and respect; a vehicle for the education and empowerment of all women, was not only carried out, but is to this day carried on by a legion of sisters dedicated to Lambda Theta Alpha's purpose and principles. The founding mothers remain active in the organization and participate in National, Area, and Chapter events, proving time and again that sisterhood is indeed for life.
Lamda Theta Alpha's main goals are to achieve scholarly excellence, support and maintain minority unity and promote cultural and political awareness. The organization strongly believes that the success of the community depends on education dispersed through community service and philanthopy.
Lamda Theta Alpha is not an exclusive group of women. Sisters are of all nationalities and races, including Caribbean, African-American, European, Central and Latin American, Asian, Middle-Eastern, and many more.
Lambda Theta Alpha proudly remains the first and largest recognized Latin sorority in the nation.
