Welcome to the Iota Chapter of Sigma Lambda Upsilon's Blog!!!
Here you will find information regarding events, community service/outreach projects, and cultural/educational programming at Cornell, Ithaca College, and the surrounding Ithaca community. You will also become familiar with the Iota Chapter of Sigma Lambda Upsilon and our national organization as a whole. Please visit Sigma Lambda Upsilon's national website at http://sigmalambdaupsilon.org/ and Iota Chapter's website at www.sigmalambdaupsilon.org/iota
On December 1, 1987 at Binghamton University, Cynthia Santiago-Guzman, Adriana Zamora, Carmen Ibeth Garcia-Quiñones and Carol Elizabeth Torres created an organization that would not only serve as a voice for women in an academic setting, but would also provide sincere sisterhood and unconditional support while actively promoting academic achievement, service to the community, and cultural enrichment by bridging the gap between the Latino community and the campuses that Sigma Lambda Upsilon serves. The sorority is now present in over 50 campuses. Though Latina-based, Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas, Inc. is a non-discriminatory organization made up of women from all cultures, creeds, disabilities, political beliefs, and sexual preferences.
SLU takes pride in being an organization comprised of diverse college-educated (collegiate) and professional women dedicated to uplifting traditionally marginalized groups, especially Latinos and women, by serving as a voice and means for empowerment. Since 1987, SLU has been an outlet for professional development and personal growth to its members and serving constituents. The Sorority's impact can be seen in the outstanding accomplishments of our Hermanas, the young women we have mentored through our LADYS and PEARLS programs, and through the lives of all the people the Sorority has touched via our many literacy initiatives. Thus, proving to colleges and communities that women of color can make a difference.
Sigma Lambda Upsilon has a passion for leading and developing underprivileged communities through the Sorority's goals of academic excellence, leadership, sisterhood, cultural enrichment, and service to the community and campus. It is evident that the Sorority's undergraduate and Graduate/Professional chapters challenge the status quo through programming initiatives that are both exemplary and unique. Sigma Lambda Upsilon's impenetrable bond and relentless commitment to one another transcends time, which is why we consider our sisterhood-Hermandad- lasting Hasta La Muerte!
