Lambda Upsilon Lambda

La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity (Lambdas, LUL) was established on February 19, 1982 in order to address the shortcomings of academic institutions in meeting and addressing the needs of Latino students in higher education. Founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Lambda Upsilon Lambda primarily seeks to take a leadership role in meeting the needs of the Latino community through cultural awareness, community service, and promotion of the Latino culture and people.

From its inception, Lambda Upsilon Lambda has maintained a firm commitment to the empowerment and betterment of all Latinos. To accomplish this goal, it addresses various key areas of concern to the Latino community, beginning with a concentration on academic achievement, community service, and cultural awareness. Within the academic realm, Lambda Upsilon Lambda continually strives to increase the representation of Latino faculty and students in higher education. Realizing that recruitment is only half of the solution, it places strong emphasis on academic programs that aid in the retention, guidance and improvement of its members in institutions of higher learning. Lambda Upsilon Lambda is committed to developing its members and peers into mature, intelligent, socially active, and culturally conscious individuals, who, via mutual support, can excel academically and professionally.
