La
Unidad Latina is looking for leaders that are
interested in joining our eternal brotherhood.
Our Hermandad spans 15 states and 70 colleges
and Universities across the country. One of
the distinctions of our organization, is being
the only Latino Fraternity to have chapters
established at all 8 Ivy League Universities
La Unidad Latina is committed to developing
its members and peers into mature, intelligent,
socially active, and culturally conscious individuals,
who, via mutual support, can excel academically
and professionally. La Unidad Latina, Lambda
Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Incorporated is looking
for individuals with vision, determination,
pride, and a commitment to accomplish the goals
it has set for itself.
La Unidad Latina was established on February
19, 1982 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New
York. La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda
Fraternity, Incorporated primarily seeks to
take a leadership role in meeting the needs
of the Latino community through cultural awareness,
community service, and promotion of the Latino
culture and people.
New Membership:
Our Hermandad, or Brotherhood, is a lifelong
commitment to the fraternity. The motto of our
Hermandad, "La Unidad Para Siempre,"
or "Our Unity is Forever," exemplifies
our devotion to the ethics and goals of La Unidad
Latina. We will only consider those individuals
who have demonstrated strong qualities within
the realms of their academic and personal life.
We seek individuals with a sincere intent to
make not only themselves, but the people that
suround them greater.
Sincere intent concerning this commitment and
sacrifice is requested of new membership.
Commitment is more than simply words. Commitment
means the ability to dedicate oneself to the
goals of an organization, advancement of community,
supporting our people and community members
alike. Commitments we foster include a professionalism,
development of business skills, cultivating
leadership, and search for intellectual enlightenment.
We expect our members to be committed.
Sacrifice means putting those distinct qualities
of commitment into a lifelong practice, to champion
the ideals of La Unidad Latina. Our members
devote time and effort to enhance the ideals
of the Fraternity at their respective universities
and postgraduate lives. We expect our members
to sacrifice.
A person seeking membership to satisfy personal
agendas is not worthy of initiation. Anyone
who holds himself above the Hermandad of La
Unidad Latina is not worthy of this honor.
La Unidad Latina has never had interest in
the mere amassing of members and chapters. Evident
in our rigorous initiation process, the emphasis,
however, is in the quality and distinction of
its candidates. Those not willing to sacrifice
a considerably short period of time now, in
return for a lifetime of brotherhood, need not
apply.
