OUR HISTORY |
|
|
The first US Latina focused sorority
founded at an Ivy-league institution, Latinas Promoviendo
Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. was established
on April 16, 1988 at Cornell University.
Patricia Rivera, Maria Caban, Eva Marie Sosa, Migdalia
Franklin, and Dr. Irma Almirall-Padamsee, our founding Hermanas, strove
to establish an organization that would transcend
their collegiate experience and consolidate their
strength as responsible leaders of the community.
They worked diligently
to develop an impactful organization whose mission and goals
would encompass the experiences of all women, but especially those of US Latinas and whose ideals would nurture the growth of its members throughout their lives.

the three ideals upon which our organization's foundation
