History

Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Inc. was founded on the campus of Sacramento State University in 1986. Our Founder, Linda V. Fuentes ignited the organization the first year by recruiting 26 founding mothers. Our 27 Founding Mothers realized that the campus did not offer an organization that met the needs of women from minority backgrounds. They were interested in forming an organization that would not only act as a family away from home, but that would also bring together women from various backgrounds and incorporate the principles of self improvement, scholastic excellence, civic responsibility and leadership. Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority became a reality on October 24, 1986, when twenty-seven women sharing the same interest, beliefs and goals came together. Since then, 21 additional chapters have joined our family, with our most recent chapter at California State University, Fullerton on November 20, 2004. Over the years, Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Inc. has grown to include hundreds of women from different creeds, ethnicity's, cultures, social-economic backgrounds, physical talents, mental abilities and sexual preferences. We are continuously growing and welcoming new women to take part in our sisterhood. Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Inc. is an academic, community, social, and multi-cultural sorority. We are a solid network of women in higher education, who have chosen to unite in order to enhance our college experiences. Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Inc. was founded with the purpose of creating a support system for women once they have entered the university. We provide our members a family away from home - in order to facilitate the retention of motivated students. Through the support its' members offer each other, Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Inc. has developed a strong, safe and loving environment where friendships grow, characters build, knowledge is shared, and a multicultural sisterhood is created.
