SLU
celebrates Voter Registration Efforts
With WFB, LQA
and Urban Latino Magazine
New York, NY - On Saturday, October 9th, 2004, Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas
Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. will join Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
and Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc., to provide recognition
and commend the communal efforts of participating sponsors of Omega
Phi Beta's National Voter Registration Drive. The celebration will
be sponsored by Urban Latino Magazine and it will take place at Club
Vue in New York City.
Believing in the importance of voting, Sigma Lambda Upsilon contributed
to Omega Phi Beta's cause of registering voters. As a local sponsor
in Syracuse, NY, the Eta Chapter of Sigma Lambda Upsilon teamed up
with Omega Phi Beta's Xi Chapter to sign people up to vote, educate
them on the significance of voting and to inform them how crucial
their vote is to this year's election. Other sponsors of voter registration
drive include: Voto Latino, La Unidad Latina/Lambda Upsilon Lambda
Fraternity, Inc. National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations
(NALFO), Latinosstep.com (East Coast), Sofritoforyoursoul.com (East
Coast), Collegiate Circuit.com (West Coast), ConXion.com (Upstate
New York) and USLatino.com (Rhode Island, Miami & Dominican Republic).
With a population estimated at over 31 million and the top ten status
with Latino population comprising 40% of the electoral votes for the
US President, the Latino population will play a decisive role in the
2004 elections. The Latino Vote could decide who is the next president
of the United Status and will influence many state and local elections.
To be placed on the guestlist for free admission to the event sponsored
by Urban Latino Magazine, please contact Omega Phi Beta Sorority,
Inc. at Vote@OmegaPhiBeta.org
