Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority Inc. was founded on March 5, 1994, at the University of Colorado Boulder by 14 women who saw a need to create a strong sisterhood and an educational support network for women on college campuses. Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority seeks to preserve Latina/o culture and history and to promote education and community service in the Latina/o communities surrounding their campuses.
Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority is a Latina-based, but not Latina-exclusive, multicultural organization and currently has seven active chapters and three colonies. Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority was founded on four rays of excellence: community service, academics, empowerment and preserving Latina culture. The Alpha chapter of Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority hosts an annual Women of Juarez event to provide awareness of femicide in Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, and around the world. Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority strives to preserve Latinx culture and continues to provide a safe space for all women of color.
