On October 22,
1989, a group of women gathered at the Chicano Native American Cultural Center to form an organization of Latina women at
the University of Iowa. Their goal was to form a group that would provide social and academic support to Latinas and women
of all cultures.
After a lot of work and dedication, the Panhellenic Council at the University of Iowa recognized
Sigma Lambda Gamma as a sorority on April 9, 1990. This is the day that Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority recognizes as
their Founding date.
Today, Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority has chapters all over the United States varying
from New York to Texas and Florida to California. Our members have recognized the need for togetherness and support among
women of all cultures at their universities and colleges and are dedicated to the overall success of women throughout the
world.
