EN LA UNION ESTA LA FUERZA
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS IN HOUSTON!
Nearly 40 years ago, 14 Founding Fathers came together on campus at Kean College in Union, NJ to create the nation's first Latin Fraternity. 30 years later 6 students would bring the ideals of Lambda Theta Phi to the University of Houston.
The Houston Colony of Lambda Theta Phi (abbreviated "Lambdas") was founded on July 29th, 2005 by Raymond Briones, Eloy Leibas, Gerardo Alcazar, Jose Flores, Anthony Gamez, and Dylan Flosi. Among them a future M.D. and 2 Masters degree recipients, this group laid the foundation for ten years of cultural awareness and community service as one of the few historically Latino Greek organizations at UH.
The Lambdas went on to thrive at UH, winning numerous campus, regional, and national honors. Granted status as Gamma Alpha chapter in 2007, Lambda Theta Phi quickly became a mainstay on the UH campus - with members known for their dedication to serving the community, committment to brotherhood and social awareness. In 2008, the chapter was proud to host guest speaker Dolores Huerta - one of the pivotal figures in Latino civil rights history, as well as beginning an annual Hispanic Heritage program that continues to this day.
Dozens of men have become brothers of Lambda Theta Phi since its inception on campus, but the original tenets are still in place to this day. As an organization with a small but dedicated membership, Lambda Theta Phi offers UH students an incredible chance to positively impact their community and their lives.
