“Chivalry Above Self”

History:

Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. was founded on December 1, 1975 in Union , New Jersey at Kean University . We made history as the first nationally recognized Latino Fraternity. There was no other Latino Fraternity in existence at that time. In the Spring of 2006, Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. became the first Latino Fraternity at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The ideals of this brotherhood are the following: Academic Excellence; Brotherhood; Leadership; Latino Unity; Service. On a daily basis, our brothers live up to these ideals, as set forth by fourteen young Latino men decades ago.

Purpose/Mission:

The purpose of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. is to provide the Latino college student the opportunity to be part of a family with a mission. Our mission is to cultivate a spirit of brotherhood, to value an education, to promote unity among all Latinos, to be proud of and cherish our heritage, to assert roles of leadership, to develop character, to practice chivalry, and to serve mankind. Though we are historically Latino based, we are not solely a Latino Fraternity. We have Brothers of all different races, religions, and national origin.
