Our Evolución
In the Spring of 2002, a group of diverse women gathered together
for the purpose of discussing the possibility of bringing a Latina/Multicultural sorority to the University of Tampa.
The ladies began intereviewing several different sororities from the University of South Florida. The women then became a
multicultural women's organization called the M.A.D.A.M.E.S. (Madames Achieving Desired Accomplishments and Mastering
Ethnic Sisterhood) with the intention of one day establishing a multicultural sorority on campus.
At
the beginning of the Fall 2002 semester, the number of interested ladies had decreased. The remaining members of M.A.D.A.M.E.S
began the initial process for petitioning for colony status. On September 21, 2002 at 6:06pm the M.A.D.A.M.E.S. became
an official colony of Sigma Lambda Gamma. The associate continued to thrive on campus and in the community allowing themselves
to become a well-known respectable group of young women. With the assistance of Jocelyn Hassett, Anhkay Pizano, Marisol Quiles,
as well as other alumae and members of the Marvelous Mu Chapter at USF. Evolución became the official founding line
of the Stunning Sigma Beta Chatper of Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority Inc. on March 12, 2003 at 1:15pm. These woman
were: Katia Astacio, Valerie Attar, Elizabeth Espinosa, Teresa Hodge, Usha Nankani, Jennifer Noy, Nastasha Perssico, Johanne
Phanord, Melissa Rodriguez, Desiree Roman, Nisha Santiago and Zoe Stable.
There stunning ladies continued to prosper on campus as well as in the
community. At the end of the Fall 2003 semester, four ladies were initiated into Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority Inc.
and became known as Primera Creación, Alpha Line of the Stunning Sigma Beta Chapter. These women were: Joy Bonelli,
Kristina Lewis, Jamel Marte and Taina Rosso. These ladies will allow our legacy of loyalty, respect and ultimate sisterhood
to continue.
