Theta Chapter of Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc.
George Washington University
The first Latina focused sorority founded at an Ivy-league institution, Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. was established on April 16, 1988 at Cornell University. The Sorority Founders strove to establish an organization that would transcend their collegiate experience and consolidate their strength as responsible leaders of the community. They worked diligently to develop an organization whose mission and goals would encompass the experiences of all women, but especially Latinas. The Theta Chapter of Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. was established December 6, 1997. It is a Latina-based but not Latina-exclusive sorority that represents a tradition of strong, proud women committed to the three ideals upon which our organization's foundation stands - La Comunidad, La Cultura Latina, and La Hermandad. Las Hermanas strive to promote progress and development in their communities. They highlight the contributions of women and people of color with an emphasis on the Latina and other opportunities for academic and professional advancement to members of historically under-represented groups.
