As members of our Sorority we are bound by sacred traditions, unique to Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc.,that serve as the foundation for a lifetime support system that extends across a spectrum of experiences, from the youngest undergraduate to professional Hermanas. This Hermandad (sisterhood) is the means by which we support each other personally, academically, and professionally. It provides members of our organization the opportunity to share common experiences, while benefiting from each other's distinct perspectives. We seek to nurture personal growth and development in our members. Our motto, “La Hermandad Nunca Termina”, is representative of our lifetime commitment to each other and the special sisterhood we share.

No words on paper (or website!) however can best represent what Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. is better than our Hermanas. We highly encourage you to get to know them to learn what makes this Sorority so special to us. Although nothing is better than in-person contact, we hope the stories of our national awards recipients and our Hermana narratives bring you a step closer to getting to know us and who knows, maybe even taking that first step towards our Hermandad.

Hermana Narratives

“Why did you pledge Lambda Pi Chi?”

What a simple yet complex question to answer. Everyone asks this question, and everyone who becomes an Hermana has a unique and beautiful answer. Here are the stories of some of our chapter Hermanas who graciously took the time to give some insight into this question. For their contribution, we thank them. For the heart and soul that they reveal within their words is in part why we all joined Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc.

“What makes Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Incorporated so special? I can answer that question by focusing on our three ideals: La Comunidad, La Cultura Latina, and La Hermandad. I first became interested in the Sorority because of all the community service that I saw they perform. There are so many people out there who need help, so many people who just need one person to look in their direction and give them a hand. Knowing that I could be bonded with other women who had the same dedication to the community spurred me to look more into the Sorority and what it was all about.

Another one of our ideals is La Cultura Latina, the Latin culture. As a Spanish major and living in a state with one of the highest growing Latino populations (NC), I have become more aware of the Latin culture. While it cannot specifically be defined, its energy and vibrancy is beautiful and captivating. Plus, rising issues facing the growing population of Latinos in America cannot be ignored. Our Sorority has helped bring these issues to the table, especially those facing Latinas. We also help to dispel negative stereotypes of Latinos.

And last, but by no means the least, our beautiful Hermandad. The feeling of Hermandad cannot even be translated directly into English to the word ‘sisterhood.’ Hermandad means that I can depend on these women for a shoulder to lean on. It means I will always have someone to cry to, someone to laugh with, and someone to share time with for the rest of my life. Hermandad is knowing that I can call someone I haven’t spoken to in years and be able to speak to them as if I saw they just yesterday. Hermandad is knowing that I can call an Hermana that I have never even met and ask her for advice. Hermandad is just a beautiful, sacred bond that we all hold between us.

So in this short amount of space I have attempted to sum up my feelings for the Sorority, but it is by no means all that we are about. I love this Sorority, and I have never at any given moment regretted my decision to learn more about it.”
