SIGMA LAMBDA UPSILON/ SEÑORITAS LATINAS UNIDAS SORORITY, INC.
LUMINOUS LAMBDA CHAPTER
Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. highly prides itself as an organization of diverse collegiate and professional women dedicated to uplifting traditionally marginalized groups, specifically Latinos and women, by serving as a voice and means for empowerment. Since 1987, the Hermandad has been an outlet for professional development and personal growth to its members and serving constituents. The Sorority’s impact can be seen in the outstanding accomplishments of Hermanas, the young women they have mentored through the LADYS and PEARLS Programs, and through the lives of people the Hermandad has touched via their many literacy initiatives. They prove to their respective colleges and communities that women of color can make a difference.
