In the winter term of 1997, six gentlemen decided to meet in order to discuss the need for a Latino fraternity on campus. The men discussed the need for a support system primarily for Latino males and the need for positive representation on campus. After several weeks, the group fell apart, but two males did not quit and decided to pursue their dream with an unstoppable passion. These males were Valentino Ganacias and Diego Bernal. During the summer between academic years, they were the only ones who kept in contact with each other. Then when fall began, these men took action. On the Saturday of September 20, 1997, these men invited two other members into their meeting to express the need for a Latino fraternity. These men were not excited about the news, but after rethinking their position, Cesar Orozco and Richard Nunn decided to join the other two men in the founding of a brotherhood. After numerous meetings, these four gentlemen decided to invite two other men into their prestigious and courageous group, these men were Roberto Liera and Guadalupe San Roman. After this, all six men began to research different fraternities in order to find the one that would the most satisfy their needs, along with providing the community with a resourceful brotherhood. After many hardships and obstacles presented before them,"the Sixth Sense" founded the Alpha Omicron Chapter of Lambda Theta Phi Fraternidad Latina, Inc. on November 23, 1997.

But after much trial and tribulation, this man would make it to their desired destination. On November 20, 1998, Juan Calzonzi formed “Fire and Ice”, the Beta Line of Lambda Theta Phi Fraternidad Latina, Inc. Alpha Omicron Chapter.
