Latino Greek
Movement
It is a fact that in 1975, when
Lambda Theta Phi was founded, there were no Latino fraternities or Latina
sororities in existence in the United States. Lambda Theta Phi originated the
concept of embracing the ideals of brotherhood, Latino unity, cultural
awareness, and community service within the Greek-letter fraternity, all for the
progress and empowerment of our people.
Since the inception of Lambda, the Greek community has witnessed the emergence
of many Latino fraternities and sororities. In fact, by 2005, three decades
after the establishment of Lambda, there were approximately 13 Latino
fraternities and 29 Latina sororities in the United States. Many of these
Latino-based, Greek-letter organizations adhere to ideals similar to those of
Lambda Theta Phi - a concept originated by fourteen young, Latinos back in 1975.
Who were these visionaries with a dream? Who were these leaders who would
forever change the face of the Greek system?
The Founding Fathers of Lambda Theta Phi.
Our brotherhood welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with our fellow Latino
Greeks on initiatives for our educational advancement, for our professional
development and, most importantly, for the betterment of our community.
“En la unión está la fuerza.”
