Mission of Pi Lambda Chi:
The Mission of Pi Lambda Chi is to create a strong sisterhood and an educational support network for women on college campuses. Pi Lambda Chi seeks to preserve Latina/o culture and history, as well as promote education and community service in the Latina/o communities surrounding their campuses.
The Motto of Pi Lambda Chi:
Encountering a “culture shock,” was very common for a majority of the founding mothers upon entering college. They felt alienated in a place that seemed far away from home and therefore far away from the warmth of their families. There were few people to relate to and creating genuine relationships with their peers seemed impossible. Upon finding each other and warmth that the company brought forth, they decided to establish a sorority, and called it...
MOTHER SISTER:
There is nothing
like the brown skin of my sisters.
And how they remind me
of mom, trust, and support.
The wide arms that
lifted me when I fell,
and hugged me,
when I hurt.
Dark hair spilling over
embracing shoulders.
Dark eyes, deep, profound;
and inherent luminescence
that looked over me
watched me,
protected me.
Her brown skin,
all I ever knew.
Her wisdom that followed
me as I grew.
Mother,
who made it possible
for me to be
sister.

Who I'd like to meet:
At no time, do the founding mothers wish to close the doors of opportunity to anyone, as doors have all too often been closed to them. Any Latina or any woman interested in Latina culture is welcome to join the pledge line.
