In the fall of 1985, at California State University, Chico a group of Latina women like many others searched for the one thing that would make their college experience a memorable one.  During their search they struggled trying to find other organizations but were not welcomed by many.  Simply some were unable to look past the color of the skin, background, etc. of the group of Latinas and as a result did not give themselves the opportunity to treat the beautiful, intelligent, young women.  In a university that during that year was composed of a small percentage of the Hispanic/Latino population, the young women felt the need to see a friendly face amongst the crowd.  It was then that on March 11, 1986 Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Incorporated was founded at California State University, Chico.  Soon we will reach our 20th anniversary.  Regardless of those that believed that the organization founded by 18th beautiful, intelligent women would not last ... we are still standing strong, proud, beautiful, intelligent, and true to our beliefs.

    The purpose of Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. shall be to open doors of opportunity to the Latinas of our community. Our primary focus is academic excellence and meeting the needs of Latina women in higher education. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. also promotes the advancement of Latinas through various campus activities and community services, and provides an environment for personal growth within a unit of Sisterhood. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc.'s priorities, however, will be placed upon academic excellence and community service.
