The purpose of Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. shall be to open doors to the Latinas in our community. Our primary focus is academic excellence and meeting the needs of Latina women in higher education. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority Inc. also promotes the advancement of Latinas through various campus activities and community services, and provides an environment for personal growth within a unit of sisterhood. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc.'s priorities however, will be placed upon academic excellence and community services.

Lambda Theta Nu Sorority Inc. was founded at California State University, Chico on March 11, 1986. It started off as a dream for eighteen young women and in the 20 years of its existence, has grown to become one of the largest organizations in the west coast. Twenty years and 24 chapters later, Lambda Theta Nu continues to excel in the priorities it set so many years before.  

Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. is a Latina based sorority. However one need not be Latina to be a sister. We encourage cultural expansion as a means to understand and strengthen our own cultural ties. At the same time we educate one another on the differences and similarities between the various countries of our decent.
