In the Fall of 1998, several women at George Mason University began to
research Latina Greek-Letter organizations. They sought to be part of an
organization that would impact and ultimately bring forth unity within the
Latino Community. Through their research, these women realized they wanted
an organization comprised of individuals that exhibited strength,
determination, commitment, and the motivation to meet the needs of Latinos
in America and that welcomed all women.
After extensive interaction with the women of Latinas Promoviendo
Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc., it became clear that these were
women that possessed the leadership qualities that would meet the goals of
the George Mason University student body and make a difference in the
Latino community. It was evident that these women were seeking change and
coordinating events and programs, that enhance the Latino community.
Through hard work and perseverance, four strong women established the Mu
Chapter of Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc. at
the George Mason University on November 6, 1999. These women are Veronica
Covarrubias, Ericka Varillas, Christina Almodovar and Jennifer Madrid. The
Mu Chapter founders sought to establish an organization for women that
would support their educational, organizational, personal and professional
goals. These women have committed themselves to live out the goals and
purposes of Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/ Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc.
and to promote and bring forth unity at the George Mason University.
