First Annual National Latino Greek Awards Gala
April 21, 2001

LatinoGreeks.com and NALFO launched the 1st Annual Latino Greek Awards Gala at the NALFO Dallas Convention this spring. The brainchild of Juan Aguilar, a member of Lambda Theta Phi and President of LatinoGreeks.com, the Gala was the first time that members of Latino fraternities and sororities were recognized on a national stage by their own peers.

Latino fraternities and sororities submitted nominations to a panel of alumni and undergraduate Latino Greeks, who reviewed them and chose the winner. All Latino fraternities and sororities were eligible to participate. The nominees and award winners represent the best qualities of Latino Greek life. The award categories covered a variety of areas including academic excellence, educational, social and community programming, professionalism, web presence, and overall organization of the year. Congratulations to all this year's winners and nominees.
