ABOUT LAMBDA THETA PHI
 

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.
