| Lambda
Theta Phi is a non-profit service/social fraternity which emphasizes
Latino unity and the celebration of the Latino culture. With its
acceptance into the National Inter-fraternity Conference (NIC)
in 1992, Lambda Theta Phi became the first nationally recognized
Latino Greek letter fraternity in the country.
The
fraternity's goals are to promote scholarship, Latino unity, respect
for all cultures, and brotherhood. Lambda Theta Phi has set out
to accomplish these goals through responsible political and social
action. By working in the surrounding communities, the fraternity
hopes to provide both services and positive role models as well
as enhance the image of the Latino culture. Lambda Theta Phi has
been involved in numerous voter and citizenship registration drives,
has hosted Hispanic college days (introducing thousands of high
school students to college) and anti-drug rallies, brough noted
speakers to college campuses, marched in parades, and organized
various cultural, educational and social events. The fraternity
has received numerous commendations from the American Red Cross
for its fundraising efforts on behalf of the victims of the Mexican
earthquakes, the Puerto Rican mudslides, the Columbian volcanic
eruptions, Florida's hurricanes, and the United States' homeless.
The brotherhood
includes men of diverse backgrounds and descents working together
to realize the organization's goals. Brothers of Lambda Theta
Phi have gone on to become attorneys, scientists, accountants,
architects, engineers, entrepreneurs, politicians, and leaders
in other fields. Brothers of Lambda Theta Phi have had the distinction
of holding positions such as President of the Concilio Nacional
de Hermandades Latinas (CNHL), President of the New Jersey Hispanic
Bar Association, Executive Director of ASPIRA Inc of New Jersey,
National Director of the Cuban Voter's League, State Senator,
and U.S. Congressman.
Lambda
Theta Phi prides itself in the strength of its brotherhood. It
provides a support group to help ensure that all brothers achieve
their greatest potential. The fraternity believes in power through
education. It stresses academics and education of not only our
culture, but of all cultures. We believe that united there is
nothing we cannot accomplish.
