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. Patricia Rivera, Maria Caban, Eva Marie Sosa, Migdalia Franklin, and Dr. Irma Almirall-Padamsee, the founding Hermanas, strove to establish an organization that would transcend their collegiate experiences 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 Latinas and whose ideals would nurture the growth of its members throughout their lives.
