Chapter History

In fall 2003, Sandra Sosa became aware of the rapid population growth of Latinos at the University of Georgia. With this in mind, she saw a need for a Latina sorority to support and cater to the needs of Latina women on campus. Sandra researched and compared various organizations on the Internet until she came across Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated’s national website. Sandra knew immediately that this was the organization she wanted to bring to campus.

In October 2003, Sandra brought Pia Duprat, Vanessa Uribe, and Linda Garcia together to discuss the possibility of bringing a Latina sorority to The University of Georgia. Shortly thereafter, Rachel Moreno and Derdlim Henry, who were contacted through the Hispanic Student Association listserv, also became interested in Lambda Theta Alpha and joined the group.
