Lambda Sigma Gamma was founded on October 24, 1986 at California State University, Sacramento by Linda V. Fuentes and 26 founding mothers and is proud of the fact that it is the first and largest multicultural sorority on the West Coast. Since its inception, it has brought together strong women of different creeds, ethnicity, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, physical talents, mental abilities, and sexual preferences.Today, there is a network of over 2,000 sisters living both in California & around the country.
As an organization, we try to create an environment that promotes the achievement of scholastic excellence and the continual pursuit of higher learning. We do this through weekly study hours,tutoring, skill building workshops, and alumnae mentorship.
Lambda Sigma Gamma strives to enhance the college experience of young women and to build friendships among their members that last long after they graduate.
Chi Chapter was founded on May 29th, 2010 by 13 founding mothers. Although it is one of the newest chapters of Lambda Sigma Gamma, it continues to grow and become a larger and larger part of the Greek Community at UC Irvine.
The purposes of this association are to instill the desire for self improvement, scholastic excellence and the cultivation of civic responsibility; also to promote unity and higher education amongst women.
