The only other Latino-based fraternity on campus is hard to miss as they walk around sporting their white and purple colors. These men are members of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity Incorporated, exemplifying strength of a white stallion mustang.
The organization was founded at the University of Iowa, Iowa city, Iowa on April 4, 1986 by 18 men. Although it is a Latino-based Greek organization, it is one of the few multi-cultural fraternities in the nation, and the only multi-cultural fraternity on campus. They were established to uphold the principles of brotherhood, scholarship, cultural awareness, and community service. The fraternity also upholds two philanthropies which they dedicate their time, effort and money into. These philanthropies are the Victor Correa CPR Awareness Day and the Collegiate Leadership Development Program.
Sigma Lambda Beta galloped their way to CSULB by establishing an interest group in 2000. After the seven founders put in hard work to become an entity on campus, CSULB recognized the Kappa Beta chapter on January 1, 2001. Since its establishment, the chapter now has 65 members.
From coast to coast, betas are known for their stepping and strolling. As the Southern California stroll team competes every year in various stroll off competitions, they always seem to make it to the final round. They have obtained first place three years straight, and kappa beta is proud to say they have always had a brother be a part of the team every time.
Watch out for their moves…
