In
its 32 years of existence, there is an entity that has
remained ever-present in Lambda Theta Alpha; our founding
mothers. Catalysts for change, these 17 women came
together by chance and stayed together by choice, forming
the first Latin Sorority in the Nation. The founders of
LTA are more than historical icons to whom we pay homage,
they are distinguished within their professions and
continue to assist their community on social, political
and educational levels.
Their vision to establish a
sisterhood based on Unity, Love and Respect; a vehicle for
the education and empowerment of all women, was not only
carried out, but is to this day carried on by a legion of
sisters dedicated to our purpose and principles. Our
founding mothers remain active still with the
organization, participate in National, Area and Chapter
events, proving time and again that sisterhood IS indeed
for life.

Another group of women
who deserve special recognition are the first orientees of
Lambda Theta Alpha (Fall 1979), who played an integral
role in the early years of the sorority. These ladies
helped to establish the foundation that the Founding
Mothers set forth as well as build beautiful and rich
traditions for LTA. The first line of LTA (l-r):
