ALPHA PSI LAMBDA CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF SERVICE AND TRADITION
AS THE NATION’S FIRST CO-ED LATINO FRATERNITY
Honoring The Past, Celebrating The Present, Looking Towards The Future
CHICAGO, Feb.11—Today notes the 25th anniversary when 13 men and women from The Ohio State University made the decision to start a Greek-lettered Latino fraternity, Alpha Psi Lambda. These individuals set the foundation for what is now the nation’s first and largest co-ed Latino fraternity.
The organization that started out with one chapter at The Ohio State University has grown over the last 25 years to 21 chapters across Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Texas and Florida with over 1,800 members. The organization has been able to fulfill year after year their mission statement: to promote continued personal and collective growth of our membership, success and unity through education, leadership, cultural awareness and community service.
“We are excited to see our organization grow the way it has. Our founders established a great foundation for young, professional, Latino leaders” says Michelle Maday, president of Alpha Psi Lambda-National, Inc. “We look forward to another 25 outstanding years and for our organization to continue to grow the way it has.” Throughout the year, Alpha Psi Lambda chapters will be hosting local events to celebrate this significant milestone. Members, family and friends of Alpha Psi Lambda will have the opportunity to celebrate the 25th anniversary at the Gold and White Ball on June 19, 2010 in Chicago IL.
