Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. is a service sorority founded in the summer of 1992 by Angeles Gonzalez. Angeles read an article in Hispanic Magazine about a national Hispanic sorority called Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas at the University of Pennsylvania. She wrote to the sorority for more information, and began to inquire about proper procedures for establishing a sorority on campus through the Office of Student Development. She began recruiting ten girls to be the “founding mothers”. However, Sigma Lambda Upsilon of Pennsylvania decided against starting a chapter in Texas because of the distance between the two states. As a result, Angeles decided to begin a new sorority to be called Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority/Señoritas Latinas en Accion. From there, they discussed what the organization’s goals would be and elected officers.
