HISTORY
In the Fall of 1989, four Latinas at the University of Pennsylvania decided that there was a need for an organization that would not only contribute to the advancement of the PENN Latino community but also create a voice and a sisterhood for Latinas on campus. In addition, the organization would also provide community service to the university as well as the surrounding Philadelphia community. These four women sought out the Hermanas of Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc., and in the Spring of 1990, they established the first Latina sorority at University of Pennsylvania. Subsequently, the Gamma Chapter expanded to include Temple University in the Spring of 2000 and Bryn Mawr College in the Spring of 2001.
We, the Hermanas of the Gamma Chapter of Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc., thank and greatly appreciate these four determined women:
Hermana Carmen Marie Maldonado, "Picosa"
Hermana Lorena Pulido Ramirez, "Chistosa"
Hermana Mary Elizabeth Cedillo, "Dulce"
Hermana Ileana Garcia Jacolow, "Creativa"
