Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated is the FIRST and LARGEST Latina Sorority in the NATION with over 170 chapters. It was founded on December 1st 1975 at Kean University in Union, New Jersey, by 17 Founding Mothers, who sought the need to create an organization that would cater to Latinas in higher education amidst the social movements of the 1970’s. Furthermore, the purpose of Lambda Theta Alpha shall be to provide a sisterhood based on unity, love, and respect and to develop strong leaders who will then provide and practice political, social and cultural activities.
Our Founding Mothers remain active with Lambda Theta Alpha. They participate in National, Area, and Chapter events, thus proving that Lambda Theta Alpha is indeed a sisterhood for life.
