LETTER FROM T H E National President

As we reflect on the 2024–2025 sorority year, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the countless ways our sisterhood has grown, served and led with purpose. This year has been a remarkable chapter in our history, one where we honored our legacy, strengthened our foundation, and boldly envisioned the future.

Together, we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of our Sisterhood, a milestone that reminded us not only of where we began, but of the enduring values of unity, love, and respect that continue to guide us. From the halls of the New Jersey Statehouse to the vibrant streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico, our collective presence and voice demonstrated that Lambda Theta Alpha is not just the first, but a forever forward Sisterhood.

Our impact has been visible across every corner of the organization: We welcomed new and reactivated chapters, further expanding our reach and influence.

We deepened engagement with alumnae, achieving the highest number of active members in our history.

We advanced leadership development through roundtables, regional conferences, and new initiatives that empowered sisters at every level to lead with confidence and purpose.

We strengthened our partnerships and philanthropy efforts, raising vital funds and reaffirming our commitment to service and advocacy.

None of this would be possible without the 470 dedicated volunteers who gave their time and talent across committees, task forces, and leadership roles. Your contributions, often unseen are the lifeblood of this sisterhood, ensuring that our progress is not just measured in numbers, but in lives impacted and communities strengthened.

This report captures the breadth of our accomplishments, but it also represents something deeper: the legacy we are building together. As we step into the next 50 years, may we continue to embrace progress over perfection, empower one another to lead, and remain steadfast in our mission to advance education, advocacy, and sisterhood.

On behalf of the 2024–2025 Board of Directors, thank you for your commitment, your passion, and your unwavering belief in the power of Lambda Theta Alpha. Our legacy is alive, because of you.

With Unity, Love, and Respect,

Rosie Diaz

LAMBDA HILL DAYS 2025

COHORT 9 From April 6–9, 2025, Lambda Theta Alpha hosted its ninth annual Lambda Hill Days in Washington, D.C., bringing together a cohort of 16 members committed to civic engagement and policy advocacy. This year’s participants focused on key legislative areas including immigration, mental health, education reform, reproductive rights, and voting rights—issues that directly impact their communities. In preparation for their advocacy, the cohort completed two virtual mock sessions led by the Political Education and Involvement (PEI) Committee and participated in an in-person simulation hosted by Voto Latino to sharpen their strategies and boost their confidence.

They effectively highlighted the needs of their communities through compelling personal narratives and a commitment to driving change. The experience was further enriched by a special meet-and-greet with Yadira Sanchez, Executive Director of Poder Latinx and member of Theta Chapter (Spring 2007), who reminded the cohort that true advocacy extends beyond Hill Days through sustained grassroots efforts at home.

LTA VOICE

SELMA MARCH On March 9, 2025, fifteen Lambda Theta Alpha members traveled to Selma, Alabama to participate in the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday—marking the sorority’s first formal involvement in this historic civil rights commemoration. Members crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, engaged with national leaders on voting rights, and committed to making Selma an annual tradition, with planning for the 2026 delegation already in progress.

“This was truly an amazing experience. The biggest moment for me was when a Latina mother who approached us brought me to tears telling us how much it meant to her to see a Latina sorority. Representation matters, and her daughters were able to see themselves in us, a group of powerful women made up of lawyers, nurses, and college graduates. All there to honor our past and fight for our future.”

LTA VOICE I Stand With Immigrants Day of Action On October 15, 2024, Lambda Theta Alpha proudly participated in the 9th annual I Stand With Immigrants Day of Action. As one of the over 200 organizations involved nationwide, our participation underscored LTA’s ongoing commitment to immigrant justice and visibility. Chapters engaged in education and advocacybased activities to uplift immigrant voices and stories, furthering our mission to promote social justice across communities.

National Voter Registration Day LTA once again reinforced the importance of civic engagement by taking part in National Voter Registration Day on September 17, 2024. At least fourteen chapters across the country hosted both in-person and virtual voter registration events.

These efforts directly connected members with their campuses and local communities, making a tangible impact in encouraging voter participation. As a proud long-term partner of this event, LTA celebrates 12 years of involvement in this nonpartisan initiative, which has helped over 4.7 million Americans to date.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

The Political Education Initiatives (PEI) team partnered with the Risk Management Committee to launch the Know Your Rights initiative, equipping members with critical legal and civic knowledge. The campaign featured 9 infographics, accessible via a live link that drew 150+ visitors. These resources strengthened members’ ability to stay informed, safe, and prepared while advocating for their communities.

SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc., in collaboration with Corazones Unidos Siempre/Chi Upsilon Sigma National Latin Sorority, Incorporated, successfully concluded a month-long series of events and initiatives during Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) 2025. Themed "Together We Act, United We Change," the campaign has set a benchmark in raising awareness and fostering community resilience against sexual assault, particularly within Latinx communities.

Throughout April, the partnering organizations engaged communities across the nation in a comprehensive slate of programming designed to educate, empower, and connect individuals. The initiative aimed to break the silence around sexual violence in Latinx communities, where such discussions are often considered taboo.

TRAINING DEVELOPMENT

LAMBDA LADIES AS EMPOWERED ADVOCATES FOR DIVERSITY The Lambda Leadership Equity and Advancement Development (LLEAD) Program had another strong and impactful year. Cohort 12 included 15 dedicated participants who demonstrated a deep commitment to building their knowledge and leadership in the areas of equity and inclusion.

Through workshops, discussions, and reflective learning, the cohort engaged meaningfully with topics at the core of LTA’s mission and values. This year’s final award recipients were Cristina Calixto, initiated at Gamma Chapter, Spring 2020, and Dr. Ritza Falcon-Santiago, initiated at Alpha Beta Alumnae Chapter, Fall 2024.

Congratulations to both members for their outstanding contributions and growth throughout the program. Applications for Cohort 13 will open this fall.

NATIONAL MEDIATION PILOT PROGRAM AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING This year, with the support of dedicated assistants, we launched the Unity Mediation Pilot Program—a conflict resolution initiative designed specifically for Lambda Theta Alpha. The goal of this program is to provide members with tools to address conflict early, constructively, and with care, preventing issues from escalating into judicial matters.

Rooted in LTA’s core principles, the Unity Mediation Pilot combines concepts from legal mediation and arbitration with elements of psychology and emotional intelligence. As part of this initiative, we introduced the Unity Advisor Certification, a mandatory 2–3 day training program that includes rigorous instruction, testing, and hands-on practice. Advisors must successfully complete this training before being officially listed as certified Unity Advisors.

This program reflects our commitment to fostering a culture of proactive leadership and sisterhood-centered conflict resolution. We are proud to offer this resource to our members as a supportive, principle-based approach to addressing challenges.

Congratulations and sincere thanks to all newly certified Unity Advisors for their commitment and service to our community.

REGIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCES In July 2024, Regional Boards hosted Regional Leadership Conferences to train Area officers on their roles and responsibilities. These conferences provided tailored, region-specific training to address the unique needs of each area, reinforcing the Regional Boards’ role in overseeing day-to-day operations.

Prevent Hazing” campaign. In partnership with HazingPreventionNetwork.org, the initiative focused on education, advocacy, and fundraising, reinforcing the sorority’s commitment to fostering true sisterhood grounded in respect, responsibility, and positive development.

In our 14th year of partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Lambda Theta Alpha continued to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to service and philanthropy. Through the collective efforts of 74 teams and 588 dedicated participants nationwide, we proudly raised $20, 411.61 in support of St. Jude’s mission to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases. This year’s fundraising not only reflects the strength of our sisterhood but also reaffirms our deep-rooted dedication to making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families facing unimaginable challenges.
