One way our sisters realize these beliefs is through our National Political Education Initiative Committee, which brings awareness to issues affecting marginalized communities and sisters. Using our position as leaders on campus and in the community, we strive to continue working towards the enrichment of the disenfranchised – dedicating our time to not only raising awareness, but also bringing about reform for access to opportunities and prosperity for all.
SALUTING is a tradition unique to Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. Saluting is a means by which members of an organization can praise a particular member within their organization or to honor the organization's past and current accomplishments. Saluting is poetry in motion and used to symbolize unity and respect.
STROLLING is a tradition practiced by many organizations to exhibit unity and pride. The practice of strolling is a very organized event, as members move in line performing the same steps of the choreographed stroll to music.
