HistoryIn the fall of 1985, at California State University, Chico a

group of Latina women like many others searched for that one thing that would make their college experience a

memorable one. During their search they struggled to find an organization that was willing to look past the color of their skin, their background, and many other

factors. In March 11, 1986 Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. was

founded at California State University, Chico by 18 dedicated women who wanted to create an organization that would meet the needs of Latinas at the University

Level.
