OUR HISTORY |
|
|
The first Latina-based sorority
founded at an Ivy-league institution, Latinas Promoviendo
Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. was established
on April 16, 1988 at Cornell University by FIVE
strong, visionary women. The Founding Hermanas:
Patricia Rivera, Maria Caban, Eva Marie Sosa, Migdalia
Franklin and Dr. Irma Almirall-Padamsee, strived
to establish an organization that would transcend
their collegiate experience and consolidate their
strength as responsible members of the community.
As undergraduate students, they worked diligently
to develop an organization whose mission and goals
would encompass the experiences of all women, and
whose ideals would nurture the growth of its members
throughout their lives. With the support and guidance
of Dr. Irma Almirall-Padamsee, their dream was brought
to fruition.

As is evident in our name, Latinas Promoviendo
Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. is an
organization whose central tenets not only affirms the
importance of service to our communities but also
encourages active participation in shaping our future.
This is a reflection in our three ideals, La Comunidad,
La Cultura Latina, and La Hermandad. Our programmatic
objectives are formed by these three ideals. Las
Hermanas sponsor a diverse array of educational
programs that focus on critical issues affecting the
community, and provide forums for social, cultural, and
political exchange. These programs are sponsored in
collaboration with the local community-based
organizations, social service agencies, student groups
and other Greek-letter organizations, in an effort to
promote unity and collective achievement.
