Why Did You Choose LTA:

• I became interested in LTA because of how it's structured differently than the mainstream sororities. Since chapters are traditionally low-membered, I knew I would be able to grow professionally, and make a strong impact within my community. I liked that it celebrated our Latin heritage but also celebrated the many cultures of the universal woman. As I attended more meetings and socials with the other interested ladies we began to build really strong friendships to the point where we felt like we already were true sisters.

What do you love about being a Lambda lady:


• I love being a Lambda lady because of the opportunities it offers to sisters. I was able to get involved in many projects and organizations I was passionate about through LTA. My many accomplishments were driven by the experiences and skills I gained as a sister. What makes it all even more exciting is becoming sisters with other women who share the same drive, persistence, and passion as you do. This sisterhood is very empowering on many different levels.

What do you love about being a Lambda lady:

• For me, to be a Lambda Lady means to both live and lead by example. Before I became a sister, I held positions in numerous organizations on campus. Though I met many people and acquired different experiences, it wasn't until the day finally came that I proudly claimed Lambda Theta Alpha as my own sorority that I found a group of ladies who shared my same vision of being involved in the betterment of the community by becoming a voice for the minority community This shared vision has allowed me to share a sisterhood with a dynamically diverse group of women. With these women, my sisters, we extend our LOVE through the distances with a strong sense of unity. This unity keeps us a door knock away or an email away to let each other know that we're coming through to visit (even in Seattle and Kansas). respect is also a mastered virtue among these Beautiful, Lovely Lambda Ladies with whom I proudly share this sisterhood. A strong sense of self and a sisterhood of determined women on my side are all I need to love the fact that I am and will always be a Lovely Lambda Lovely
