Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Incorporated History

Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. was established on March 11, 1986 at California State University, Chico. We were founded by 18 dedicated women who wanted an organization that would meet the needs of Latinas at a University level. Our Founding Mothers wanted an organization that was not only going to expand around the Nation, but one that would be kept together by a strong bond that they would call familia.

"All these women knew they wanted to be a part of this event, though not all of them realized the historic value it would hold. To be a part of a group of intelligent, beautiful, culturally aware, and proud women...To be able to come together, and be seen, and heard, not discarded or ignored...To be respected and recognized for our accomplishments."

-Lisa Saldano, Founding Mother #17

To this day our purpose remains the same: The purpose of Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. shall be to open doors of opportunity to Latinas in our community. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Incororated's primary focus is academic excellence and meeting the needs of Latina women in higher education. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority also promotes the advancement of Latinas through various campus activities and community services, and provides an environment for personal growth within a unit of sisterhood. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority's priorities, however, are placed upon academic excellence and community service.

Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. is the first Latina-interest organization on the West Coast, and is also a founding member of the National Association for Latino Fraternal Organizations, NALFO.
