Sigma Lambda Gamma Today
Sigma Lambda Gamma believes that Culture is Pride, Pride is Success. We explore the richness in the traditions of Latina culture. This encompasses the cultural heritages of Native Americans (North, Central and South), Europeans, Africans, Asians and their multiple and interesting mixtures. We celebrate the diversity of the backgrounds of all the members of our sorority. Through these efforts in cultural awareness, we expect that each woman will explore their roots and traditions and share those with other individuals so that cultural understanding and respect are promoted. We hope to create new traditions for future generations of women to celebrate their identity and heritage with pride and joy throughout the college years.
Our Founding Mothers broke the barriers of traditional sororities to create an organization for women of every cultural and socio-economic background. In staying true to our foundation, Sigma Lambda Gamma is proud to say that we have over 110 nationalities in our membership. In the world map below, a country colored in either pink or purple denotes a country of origin for our sorority membership.
