​Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc.

National History 

 

Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. was founded by 17 founding mothers in 1975 at Kean University. What started as a vision - an idea of an organization and a sisterhood that would cater to the needs of Latinas and the universal woman- became a reality. Due to the tremendous strides made by Lambda Theta Alpha's seventeen Founding Mothers of Latin, Caribbean and European descent, this dream was actualized, and took form as the entity Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated - the first Latina sorority in the nation. We are not an exclusionary organization, as we are composed of 109 different cultures and nationalities; we truly encompass our motto of "Latin by Tradition, Not by Defintion".
