Lovely Lambda Ladies

If anyone of you were curious to know which was the first Latina-based sorority to establish itself on campus… I would tell you it is the lovely ladies of Lambda Theta Alpha, Beta Delta chapter. In fact, the Beta Delta chapter was not only the first Latina-based sorority on campus; it was the first chapter in its organization to make its way to the West coast. Officially recognized as a chapter in April of 1998, the ladies that hold the principles of unity, love and respect, take pride in being the chapter that opened the expansion to the West side.

One of the organizations the Beta Delta chapter works with and supports some of their events on campus is the Women’s Resource Center located in LA5. The chapter has helped promote breast cancer awareness by volunteering at the center and have individually volunteered their time in certain projects.

Currently, there are roughly 50 members in the chapter, and although the active members are few, they have worked hard to accomplish and uphold their principles. The organization as a whole is known for saluting, and every so often you will see these ladies perform their salute at Greek events on campus. So keep an eye out for the ladies in burgundy and grey.
