Why Lambdas?
Lambda Theta Phi was born to promote the spirit of brotherhood, to protect the rights of Latino students in his/her quest for an education, to promote the rich Latino culture, and to maximize leadership potentials to provide guidance to our community.
Membership at the undergraduate level is open to all males, regardless of race, culture or creed. The prospective student must be enrolled full-time at a four-year accredited institution. In addition, in order to participate in the fraternity’s intake process, the student must possess a minimum of 2.5 grade point average.
​
Lambda Theta Phi seeks visionary leaders who can assist in our mission to accomplish the goals set forth by our founders. Lambda strives to recruit individuals with a commitment to excellence and a determination to succeed.
Although many people may think of fraternities solely as a part of college life, membership in Lambda extends beyond graduation. In addition to our undergraduate chapters, our brotherhood has established Alumni Chapters across the country. The support and networking opportunities exist at both the undergraduate and professional levels.

For The Parents
HOW CAN YOUR SON BENEFIT FROM FRATERNITY MEMBERSHIP?
In general, fraternities offer students a support system and “connection” to college which assists in their academic success. Fraternity members have a higher graduation rate than non-members and when they do graduate they are part of a network that for years has aided individuals in finding employment and making new friends as they transition from college life. Membership also requires community service which we believe prepares students to be good citizens and good neighbors.
Having been founded in 1975, Lambda Theta Phi is a relatively new fraternity, but many of us are fathers. Many of us are encouraging our children to consider joining a fraternity or sorority if they have an interest. We want a safe and rewarding college experience for our children, and we want it for your children also. Lambda Theta Phi is a “family” and we support one another. As a Latin fraternity we honor the traditions of our Latin heritage and respect those of other cultures. There is a place for your children and your family in the Lambda Theta Phi family.
