The year was 1975 and it was the year we were born. Soon, thanks to the tremendous strides made by our 17 Founding Mothers, Lambda Theta Alpha would grow to become the first Latin sorority ever created to cater to the needs of minorities and women in the nation. Our Sisterhood has prospered and aged through the tumultuous 70s and early 80s, seeing many advancements for minorities and women throughout the United States. Never doubting that their dream could become a reality, our Founding Mothers continued on, despite adversity and hindrance from those who despise change.

​

Today, we maintain very close ties to our Mothers, who, without their strength, courage, and womanly intuition and knowledge, we would not exist. Our Founding Mothers are all of our mothers, for they are the voice of the struggle within us and around us all. They were largely Latina, and that is why we keep the Latin in our name, but among them were women of African and Indian descent as well. By embracing the Latino culture, a love of all cultures emerged. They believed and fought for the rights of all women and would grow to include women of many different ethnicities within only a few years. They believed in womanhood and minority rights, and they believed in Lambda Theta Alpha. For their never-ending support and love, we pay them great homage.
