Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority Incorporated is a historically Latina -based national sorority with multicultural membership founded on April 9, 1990, at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa by five collegiate women who wanted an organization to empower all women. The sorority focuses on five principles: academics, community service, cultural awareness, social interaction, and morals and ethics. With a network of 10,000 members, they have a diverse membership[ 1] representing over 110 nationalities.[ 2]
Membership
A criterion for membership into Sigma Lambda Gamma is that a woman must have exceptional morals and ethics with a demonstrated commitment to academic excellence, and is pursuing or has completed courses leading to a degree in an accredited college or university.[ 2] Memberships are categorized as undergraduate or alumnae. According to Sigma Lambda Gamma's national constitution, they believe that a multicultural experience during the college years enhances each member's ability to function in a pluralistic society. They do not discriminate on the basis of age, race, national origin, religious preference, sexual orientation or disability. Many chapters even possess transgender and nonbinary members. As a result, Sigma Lambda Gamma has a diverse membership and encourage their members to celebrate the diverse backgrounds of all the members of the sorority,[ 1] and currently boasts over 110 nationalities.[ 2]
Chapters are categorized into 11 regions. Each region has a Regional Director, who serve as liaisons between university personnel and the National Board of Directors through annual entity visits.[ 3] The Omega Chapter is established to recognize and pay respect to deceased sisters.[ 4]
The regions are as follows:
Northeast Region: New York, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut
Southeast Region: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina
Central Region: Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee
Midwest Region: Illinois, Wisconsin
