WSU welcomes new sorority WSU welcomes new sorority

Student Involvement announces the selection of Lambda Pi Upsilon Sorority, Latinas Poderosas Unidas Inc. for expansion at Wichita State University, which will take place beginning in the summer of 2018. During the past few months, a selection committee and members of the Greek community have reviewed and evaluated several national organizations to decide the best chapter to bring to campus. This Latina-based, all-inclusive sorority will charter a colony with the focus of empowering their members through learning about their varied cultures and of helping the underprivileged members of the American Society.

Lambda Pi Upsilon Sorority Inc., was founded in November 1992 at the State University of New York College at Geneseo. The goal of the sorority is to promote the values of Family, Education, Motivation, Advancement, Learning and Exposure.
