Family bonds and cultural ties
I joined La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc. because I really liked the fraternity’s philanthropy, and its values aligned with mine. My older brother joined back in 2014, so I knew about Greek life coming into college. My two older sisters joined a sorority too, and I could see that they enjoyed being part of such a close-knit community — it really sparked my interest to join.
There are a lot of options here at IU Indianapolis, but I was drawn to my fraternity because it focuses on the Latino community and empowering other Latinos.
Our philanthropy is Providing Access to Higher Education (PATHE) and coming from 1st-generation backgrounds, our members value the importance of getting our education. We try our best to help the Latino community get better informed about higher education.
