Multicultural Organizations
Joining a Multicultural Greek Organization?
Vanderbilt University is proud to have organizations that offer a cultural-based experience on our campus that celebrate Greek Life and their cultural heritages.
Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc.
As the first Latin sorority ever created to cater towards the needs of latinas in the nation, Lambda Theta Alpha recognizes the importance of reaching out to others and forming a united coalition of professional, diverse, culturally and politically aware women. We are not an exclusive group of women and believe that all women alike should be given an opportunity to make their mark on the world. This is our right and our profound legacy.
The main goals of the chapter are to establish working and social relationships with fellow sisters and interested ladies. In this way, fundraising, community service and activism, as well as social efforts, can be a success. We are an organization...a Sisterhood...based on Unity, Love and Respect...and dedicated to the empowerment of minorities and the universal woman through her education, a love of culture, the disenfranchised and her surrounding communities.
Women interested in Lambda Theta Alpha are encouraged to attend LTA events, meet sisters, and become a part of the interest group. LTA has various information sessions throughout the year where women can learn more about the organization. For more information, please contact LTA president, Arielle Maffei at arielle.maffei@vanderbilt.edu.
Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc.
Lambda Theta Phi provides the Latino college student the opportunity to be part of a family with a mission. The mission of the Fraternity is to cultivate a spirit of brotherhood, to value an education, to promote unity among all Latinos, to be proud of and cherish our heritage, to assert roles of leadership, to develop character, to practice chivalry, and to serve mankind. In short, to raise the social and cultural conscience of the Latin male college student through:
- Education/Educación
- Leadership/Liderazgo
- Brotherhood/Hermandad
- Culture/Cultura
- Latin Unity/"En la unión está la fuerza."

Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc.
Sigma Lambda Gamma is the largest, historically Latina-based national sorority with a multicultural membership in chapters and alumnae associations throughout the United States.
The sorority promotes academic excellence and higher education for all women via a dedication and incorporation of the sorority principles – Academics, Community Service, Cultural Awareness, Morals & Ethics, and Social Interaction – in their lives. Members have recognized the need for togetherness and support among women of all cultures and are dedicated to the overall success of women in the world.
The organization has existed on the Vanderbilt University campus for over a year, and during that brief time, it has made great efforts to educate others about various cultures and ways of life by promoting unity, genuine understanding, camaraderie and service within the Greek and campus communities and beyond.
Women interested in Sigma Lambda Gamma are invited to attend SLG events in order to meet the dynamic group of women and to explore the organization . SLG hosts information sessions each semester where women learn more about the organization. For more information, please contact SLG president, Preiyaa Gopinath at preiyaa.b.gopinath@vanderbilt.edu.
