About Lambda Theta Alpha

Lambda Theta Alpha is a fully insured organization, in which every chapter has
coverage. The sorority has a strong National Board of Directors that governs the
entire organization with help from the Area Boards. They serve as an umbrella
system in helping, supporting, and overseeing all chapters and their members.
Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. also has an active Alumni Association, which
is proof to our lifelong commitment to the sisterhood.

Lambda Theta Alpha’s main goals as an Academic Sorority are to achieve scholarly
excellence, support and maintain minority unity, and promote cultural and political
awareness. We also believe that the success of our respective communities
depends on education dispersed through community service and philanthropy.
Some of our accomplishments include working with Equal Opportunity Fund
Program students, AIDS Walks, ASPIRA recruitment programs, the National
Committee to Prevent Child Abuse, March of Dimes, Women and Breast Cancer, La
Marcha in Washington DC, and visiting shelters, hospitals, and soup kitchens, to
name a few. Our National Philanthropy is the National Hispanic Scholarship Fund.

Lambda Theta Alpha is not an exclusive group of women. Although our roots are
Latin, we have sisters from various nationalities and races including Caribbean,
Caucasian, African American, European, Central and South American, Asian, Middle
Eastern, and many more. Although Lambda Theta Alpha was founded as a Latina
Sorority, we believe in serving all communities in need. It is an organization that
fights for the empowerment of all women, regardless of their race, color, creed, or
religion. Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. is proud to state that it is the first
and largest Latin Sorority in the nation. We have been awarded nationally the Sorority
of the Year Award in 2001 and 2002 by the National Association of Latino Fraternal
Organizations, Inc. The Connecticut Area (CTA1) was awarded the 2001-2002 Area
of the Year award by the Lambda Theta Alpha, National Board of Directors.

Area undergraduate chapters are located at the University of Connecticut, Central
Connecticut State University, University of Hartford/Trinity College and Western
Connecticut State University. Graduates remain active through the Alumnae Chapter.
