Our Mission:

Through excellence in the organization's five founding principles of Academics, Community Service, Cultural Awareness, Social Interaction, and Morals & Ethics, Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. provides opportunities for lifelong empowerment to its members, thereby positively influencing the global community.

Through a network of close to 3,000 multicultural sisters from collegiate chapters and alumnae associations located across the United States, we promote academic excellence and higher education for all women via a dedication and incorporation of the sorority principles - Academics, Community Service, Cultural Awareness, Morals & Ethics, and Social Interaction - in our lives.

Sigma Lambda Gamma is a multicultural organization. It was originally founded to create a safe space for Latina women. Many of its customs and traditions continue to come from its Latina roots. Since its founding, its scope and appeal as a vibrantly diverse sorority committed to empowering all its member has become a central element of the organization.

Multiculturalism is a system of beliefs and behaviors that recognizes and respects the presence of diverse in an organization or society. Acknowledges and values their socio cultural difference and encourages and enables their continues contribution within an inclusive cultural context which empowers all within the organization or society.
