Lambda Theta Alpha members have a hand sign and traditional call. LTAs DO NOT STEP, but they do salute and stroll.
SALUTING is a tradition unique to Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. Saluting is a means by which members of an organization can praise a particular
member within their organization or to honor the organization's past and current accomplishments. Members write a salute, and tend to include words of
modern-day songs. Once they have the text, they proceed to add motions to the salute. Typically, if there is more than one person performing a salute,
the members will synchronize their movements. Saluting symbolizes unity and respect.
