Purpose
Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority promotes standards of
excellence in morality, ethics, and education. It works to better serve
the needs and wants of all people by disseminating information about
the diverse culture we share. The sorority maintains respect for the
views of others through this valuing, thereby enhancing our
understanding of one another and bettering our community, our
country, and the world.
Morals and Ethics
As members of Sigma Lambda Gamma we display good sound moral
judgment at all times. We are considerate and kind to all poeple,
giving people the same respect we would like to be given. As a
member of Sigma Lambda Gamma we always represent sisterhood,
remembering individual actions reflect on the sorority as a whole.
Community Service
Our community services are intended to help others in our
communities. Our services should be viewed as a way of contributing
to the betterment of our community. Participating in community
services helps us respond to people's needs through listening
and uderstanding.
Academics
The success and recognition of Latina women depends on our
education. We, the future leaders of this country, have the
opportunity to pursue a higher education. Sometimes it may be
necessary to seek help from others like tutors, professors, and our
sorority sisters in order to obtain our degrees. A solid education is
one key to our future. It opens doors for us, lets our voices be heard,
and enables our dreams to become realities.
Cultural Awareness
Sigma Lambda Gamma believes that Culture is Pride, Pride is
Success. Exploring the richness in tradition of Latina culture that
encompasses the heritage of Native Americans (North, Central and
South), Europeans, Africans and Asians and their multiple and
interesting mixtures, we celebrate the diversity of backgrounds of all
the members of our sorority. Through these efforts of cultural
awareness, we expect that each woman will explore their roots and
traditions, and share those with other members so that cultural
understanding and respect are promoted. We hope to create new
traditions so that future generations of college women find their
college years filled with pride and joy in the celebration of their
identity and heritage.
Social Interaction
As members of Sigma Lambda Gamma, we have the oportunity to be
open to all types of positive social interactions. Engaging in social
interactions helps us not only to understand others but also ourselves.
Although we all have our own individual differences, we must be able
to be accepting and open-minded of the actions of others.
