Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated was founded as the FIRST and the LARGEST Latina-based sorority in December of 1975 at Kean University in Union, New Jersey.
The Beta Kappa chapter of Lambda Theta Alpha, Latin Sorority, Inc. was established on the campus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County on July 17th, 1999 by our Founding Sisters known as the "Sweet-n'-Sassy Six."
Upon the chapter's establishment, Lambda Theta Alpha became the first of any Latin Greek-lettered organization to be chartered in the Baltimore area and additionally founded UMBC's Multicultural Greek Council, a body of Greek-lettered organizations celebrating UMBC's diverse community. As an Academic Sorority, Beta Kappa sisters have gone on to pursue master's and doctorate degrees, as well as representing the chapter on regional and national levels. As a result of their efforts, they have brought home numerous accolades for their contributions to the sisterhood. Our chapter also boasts a diverse legacy of sisters from different ethnic, socioeconomic and academic backgrounds. Lambda Theta Alpha was the first sorority ever created to cater to the needs of Latinas in the nation and is known for being a non-exclusionary group.
"We are Latin by Tradition and NOT by Definition!"
The chapter continues its pursuit to empower the Universal Woman and create a space for political, cultural, and social awareness on the campus of UMBC and beyond.
"With Unity, Love, and Respect"
