Lambda Pi Upsilon Sorority, Latinas Poderosas Unidas, Inc.
Una chica Lambda no nace, se hace.
Learn how to get involved with our commitment to education, cultural awareness, personal advancement, and philanthropy through the experience of our sisterhood.
Lambda Pi Upsilon Sorority, Latinas Poderosas Unidas, Inc. was founded by six women, known as our Six Pillars of Strength, with the intent to diversify the SUNY Geneseo collegiate community through cultural awareness and academic enrichment.
Their vision extended far beyond one’s collegiate experience, and hoped that with strength in numbers they’d one day develop an impervious network of women who lead and empower with Love, Dignity and Pride.
Today, the intent of our Six Pillars enables empowerment across countless campuses, and can be recognized as a legacy for those who choose the Lambda Way.
