National History:
On October 22, 1989, a group of womyn gathered at the Chicano Native American Culture Center to form an organization of Latina/Hispanic womyn at the University of Iowa. Their goal was to form a group that would provide social & academic support to Latinas/Hispanic and womyn of all cultures. The womyn of distinction who founded Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. are; Gloria Cuevas, Julieta Miller, Maria Pineda, Danell Riojas, & Guadalupe Temiquel.
After a lot of hard work & dedication, the Panhellenic Council at the University of Iowa recognized Sigma Lambda Gamma as a sorority on April 9, 1990. This is the day Sigma Lambda Gamma recognizes as their founding date.
