Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. is the proud sponsor of our annual National RAICES (Roots); a week long, series of events, which are held nationally during the last week of September. Every chapter enthusiastically participates by hosting a variety of events while promoting and celebrating Latino heritage and culture on their respective campus and/or community. You will find at any given moment throughout the week, our Hermanas offering a variety of events that are enlightening, thought-provoking and focused on cultural enrichment, women's issues, community service and scholarship. All of which revolve around the chosen topic for the year. At this time, we are excited to announce our RAICES theme for 2011:

The Power of Marianismo: Redefining the Female Role

Which will take place from Sunday, September 25th through Saturday, October  1st 2011. For specific information on events taking place in your area and/or contact information for the chapter nearest you, visit our events calendar.
