The PROUD brothers of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Inc. are the first and largest Latin fraternity in the nation. The organization was founded on December 1st, 1975 in Kean University. The founders of Lambda Theta Phi had a vision of unifying the Latinos of Kean University to create a movement that would seek to educate, respect, cultivate, protect, and inspire the community with acts of chivalry. Their vision lives today in the passion of every Lambda entity across the nation. The Lambdas at UNC Charlotte are recognized as the Gamma Iota Chapter of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Inc. and were founded on this campus on May 6th, 2007. Since then, the Lambdas have welcomed men of all backgrounds in to the family who wish to challenge social injustices, to empower young minds, to cultivate unity in the community, develop their character, in service of humanity. The Lambdas seek to ignite a change in a man with a vision that the legacy of their community rests in their hands. "En La Unión, Está La Fuerza" or, "In Unity, there is Strength" is the strong hold and motto that drives the Lambda man to persist in his journey as the self-conquered man. As the first nationally recognized Latin fraternity in the nation, the brothers of Lambda Theta Phi set the precedent for the identity for other Latino Greek organizations. With that, they initiated a tradition that transcends generations of pride and heritage. The brothers of Lambda Theta Phi perform poetry in motion known as "Saluting" to pay respect to their ancestors, and release passion and energy that drives their motivation. We challenge every man to see their world with a different eye in the hopes to cultivate the mentality of agents of change.
