Chapter History

Our quest to bring a second Latina Sorority to the University of Washington-Seattle campus began in the summer of 2001. We had a desire to establish an organization that would fit the needs, wants, and goals of Latina Students and other minority students on our campus. After several hours, days, and weeks of research, we came across a sorority named Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated and it was everything that we were looking for in a sisterhood. It was like us in style, belief, and goals. As the FIRST Latina Sorority ever established in the United States we could see the respect they had earned through their outstanding commitment to the sisterhood, academic excellence, community service, cultural and political awareness, and the empowerment of All women.

 

Thus, in the fall of 2001 our journey to establish a chapter of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated began. We started as a small interest group, but as time passed our numbers grew and grew. We were an interest group for two years and during that time we dedicated ourselves and worked hard to earn the respect that any affiliate of Lambda Theta Alpha deserves. We reached out to our campus as well as communities across the state, while all the while creating a second family among ourselves and a network of support. With each day that passed we came closer to realizing our dreams of becoming sisters. Later, during the summer of 2003 our dream became a reality and on August 23, 2003 the Gamma Omicron Chapter of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated was established with 17 strong, beautiful women.
