National History
Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. was
established on March 11, 1986 at California State
University, Chico. We were founded by 18 dedicated women who wanted an organization that
would meet the needs of Latinas at a University level.
Our Founding Mothers wanted an organization that was not
only going to expand around the Nation, but one that
would be kept together by a strong bond that they would call familia.
"All these women
knew they wanted to be a part of this event, though not
all of them realized the historic value it would hold.
To be a part of a group of intelligent, beautiful,
culturally aware, and proud women...To be able to come
together, and be seen, and heard, not discarded or
ignored...To be respected and recognized for our
accomplishments." Lisa Saldano, Founding Mother
