Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. offers its members access to a variety of resources and opportunities geared toward teaching members how to empower others through leadership.
How It All Started
On April 9th, 1990, Sigma Lambda Gamma was founded at the University of Iowa by five Latina women committed to creating a mechanism of empowerment for all women.
​
Our Founding Mothers are: Gloria Cuevas, Julieta Maria Miller-Calderon, Maria Ester Pineda, Danell Marie Riojas-Carbajal, Guadalupe Cruz Temiquel-McMillian.
After more than 30 years, Sigma Lambda Gamma has evolved into more just than a thriving multicultural fraternal organization – it is a community of empowered members from all cultural backgrounds that respect each other’s identities and who seek to positively influence their local communities and the world.
