Sorority History
Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. was founded on April 16, 1988 at Cornell University by four strong women. The Founding Hermanas: Patricia Rivera, Maria Caban, Eva Marie Sosa-Grandison and Migdalia Franklin sought to establish an organization that would transcend their collegiate experience and consolidate their strength as responsible women devoted to the community. With the help of Dr. Irma Admirall-Padamsee (Honorary Hermana) this dream was brought to fruition. Today, Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. proudly stands as a community service oriented organization comprised of undergraduate, graduate and professional women.

Gamma Chapter History
On February 28, 1993, four strong Latina women chartered a chapter of Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. at the State University of Albany. The Founding Pledge Class, Awilda L. Martinez, Yeleny Estevez, Mayra de la Cruz, and Claudia M. Torres, felt the need to bring an organization that celebrated the beauty, courage, strength and vitality of the Latina woman through community service and Hermandad, our special sisterhood. We seek to continue to promote unity among all women regardless of age, cultural/racial identity, sexual orientation and religious affiliation.
