HERSTORY
On April 2, 1994 two
women of strength and integrity united to develop the first and only
Latina-based sorority founded at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
On this day Delta Tau Lambda Sorority, Incorporated was born. Their
mission was to build an organization that would bring about greatness to
the communities in which the organization was a part of while working
with women that strived for professionalism and leadership.
The founders,
Darilís García
and
Maria Victoria Ramos,
focused their efforts on academic excellence, community service and
professionalism. With that in mind in the summer of 1994 the women
selected their charitable causes, and created their staple program the
Salute to Latinas, Fuerza de la Mujer Latina. In 1995
Darilís and
Maria
founded the Lydia Cruz and Sandra Maria
Ramos Scholarship. The events they sponsored always represented, and
continue to represent, the diversity they embraced.
Since 1994
members have committed themselves to empower and uplift the organization
as well as their communities. They have done community services
projects that expand from thanksgiving baskets and child safety fairs to
national projects such as the American Diabetes Association walk and
Race for the Cure.
Delta Tau Lambda
has been recognized on campuses and communities across the U.S. as a
strong organization. It has been the hard work, pride and dedication of
its members that has helped bring about excellence to every endeavor the
organization does.
Con Fuerza
construiremos, con Honestidad creceremos, con Unidad nunca seremos
Vencidas
Strength and Unity are the Key to Excellence
