Lambda Theta Alpha, Latin Sorority Inc. has many national and local
philanthropies. Our National Philanthropy is the Lambda Theta Alpha Outreach
Program titled F.U.T.U.R.O., which translates to
FUTURE. On the regional and local levels, our areas and chapters dedicate
themselves to philanthropic aid of their own choice and thus the sorority as a
collective whole contributes to many different people in need. Women, minorities and children compose the nucleus of most of the philanthropic
aid Lambda Theta Alpha focuses on. Through philanthropy, Lambda Theta Alpha
hopes to unite people in service with their respective communities while
allowing them to realize the importance of sharing problems and understanding
their neighbor's concerns. The Sisters of Lambda Theta Alpha pride themselves on their devotion to the
community. Since its inception in 1975, Lambda Theta Alpha has always excelled
in community service. Not only do sisters "perform" community service, but they
also firmly believe in community activism, going out into the community and
motivating others by instilling in them a passion to help others. This is the
link, the common bond in unity, that is our passion. Through our own self-assurance as valuable people in this universe we reach out
to others, and many times learn things about ourselves we previously were
unaware of in terms of our strengths and weaknesses. As sisters and brothers of
humanity we must acknowledge the universal truth that we as a people are only as
strong as our weakest link. By empowering ourselves first, by learning our own
cultures and where we come from, and by really understanding who we are (past,
present, future) we will ALL finally be united. Our founding mothers did just this thirty years ago. They were mostly
Latina, but because they loved learning and rediscovering their culture, they
wanted others of different cultures to join them so they could do the same, and
ultimately share their cultures. And for this reason, Lambda Theta Alpha is
dedicated to not only one community, but many. |
