LAMBDA THETA ALPHA LATIN SORORITY, INCORPORATED
Gamma Chapter
Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated, Gamma Chapter, was established at Trenton State College (now The College of New Jersey), on April 10, 1981. Two inspiring ladies by the names of Violeta Rolon Sandoval and Carmen Milagros Figueroa willingly gave their hearts to the growth of Lambda Theta Alpha, on the future of Gamma Chapter. Since then, Gamma Chapter has grown to have thirty-five lines (Line 35 – Spring 2022) of sisters who exemplify the ideals, goals, and charisma of a true Lambda Lady.
Gamma Chapter has strong and growing Alumnae of over 110 successful ladies, who just like Violeta and Carmen, found Unity, Love, and Respect in their hearts and each other, and vowed to keep it alive forever. Gamma Chapter has made a commitment to Lambda Theta Alpha to surpass the goals they have established and give to the sorority the quality of sisters it deserves.
Gamma Chapter sisters have been instrumental in the growth and success of Lambda Theta Alpha. Several sisters from Gamma Chapter have opened up other chapters in New Jersey.
A number of our chapter sisters have had the privilage in serving on the National Board of Directors as well as on our area board (NJA3). Our sisters are leaders of the campus community, the surrounding community, and the Latino communities. They are compassionate, donating their precious time to those who are in need, and honoring the importance of community service that our founding mothers established. In the 2006 Inter Greek Council Awards Ceremony Lambda Theta Alpha was the only multicultural Greek organization to be awarded four star chapter recognition, which is the highest form of recognition that can be awarded to any Greek organization. We have also been awarded Chapter of the Year, among many other awards.
We at Gamma Chapter have strong academic priorities, recognizing and supporting the importance of education in the Latina woman. Many Gamma chapter undergradutes have been recognized for their academic successes, receiving the award of Highest GPA for consecutive semesters.
