History
The Eta Chapter of Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. at Wesleyan University was founded on April 27, 1997. The Eta Chapter founding Hermanas drew from the strength, experiences and dedication of over fifteen women of color at Wesleyan who researched and set a foundation for a Latina-based sorority at Wesleyan. The seven members of the founding pledge class sought to establish a vehicle for unity and empowerment through which women could seek support for their educational, organizational, personal and professional goals.
