Georgia Tech’s Fraternity and Sorority Life welcomes two new organizations: Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. and the Gamma Omega chapter of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. These chapters join the Multicultural Panhellenic Council (MPC) and more than 50 social fraternities and sororities at Georgia Tech.
Lambda Theta Alpha, the first and largest Latina sorority in the nation, returns to Georgia Tech with associate status after successfully rechartering. With seven current members, the sorority is rebuilding its presence on campus, while carrying its legacy of a sisterhood based on unity, love and respect. “Joining Lambda Theta Alpha has been a transformative experience. It's not just about being part of an organization—it's about being part of a legacy of strength, sisterhood, and empowerment,” says member Yanet Gonzales. “For me, it means finding a space where I can grow, support others, and contribute to a community that values both individuality and unity.”
Lambda Theta Phi, the first and largest nationally recognized Latin fraternity, has established its first chapter at Georgia Tech with full membership status. With 10 current members, Lambda Theta Phi is building toward its mission of empowering Latin males on campus. "The bringing of Lambda Theta Phi to campus is deeper than just bringing a fraternity to campus. From the initial idea of starting up Lambda, the future of Latino males on campus has been priority as creating that sense of brotherhood is crucial as we now know,” says the fraternity’s first elected president, Oscar Guerrero. "We've already seen the impact Lambda has made within the founding line which has brought Hispanic males together that wouldn't have had that same opportunity otherwise to form a strong bond over shared values."
“This demonstrates the need that existed for current undergrads at Tech,” added vice president Cesar Lopez-Landaverde. Creating and building a space for Latino men at Georgia Tech to thrive in their careers while being able to find a sense of community is key.”
Together, Lambda Theta Alpha and Lambda Theta Phi exemplify the importance of creating spaces where students can connect, grow, and make a lasting impact. “I’m excited for what’s ahead and the opportunity to share this journey with such incredible individuals,” says Gonzales.
