Since our founding in 1975, Lambda Theta Alpha has evolved and continues to be a leader among the fraternal community while remaining true to our Founders’ purpose and mission – to establish a sisterhood based on unity, love and respect, and to serve as a support group catering to the needs of and empowering Latinas in higher education.

Although the cultural climate has changed, those ideals still resonate with us. LTA has a motto, “Latin by tradition, not by definition.” As a non-exclusionary sorority open to all ethnicities and backgrounds, the women who join LTA today still feel the need to promote those same values on their campus.

The actions of our Founding Mothers have allowed independent women on campus to feel a sense of belonging, creating an environment that allows them to achieve their highest potential. It is as a result of this that Lambda Theta Alpha has come to define a new role for the universal woman – one with education, goals and vision in hope of great success.
