Q DO I HAVE TO kNOW WHICH MGC ORGANIZATION I WANT TO JOIN?A No. While many people have an idea of the chapter they want to join, MGC organizations and the council sponsor programs that help students learn more about each chapter and what they have to offer before deciding which organization they would like to be apart of.

Q WHAT IS A NEW MEMBER PROCESS?A A new member education process is a period of time designed to educate new members on chapter/organizational operations, fraternity and sorority culture on campus and the values of the organization. This period of orientation is usually overseen by an officer, the new member educator and the initiated members. An organization’s new member process may be public or private.

Q DO I HAVE TO IDENTIFY AS A STUDENT OF COLOR TO JOIN A CULTURALLY BASED GREEk ORGANIZATION?A No. Organizations of the Multicultural Greek Council at DePaul University pride themselves by hav-ing students from all racial and ethnic backgrounds including, but not limited to, students who identify as White, Caucasian, Latino/a, Chicano/a, Hispanic, Southeast Asian, Asian-American, African American, Black, Native American, bi-racial, multi-racial, mixed race, and all racial and ethnic identities.

Q CAN I JOIN A FRATERNITY OR SORORITY IF I AM A COMMUTER?A Yes! Fraternity and sorority life can be a valu-able experience, regardless of whether the student is living at home, off campus, or in a residence hall.

Q HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN A FRATERNITY OR SORORITY?A Joining a fraternity or sorority will have a cost, and each chapter varies in the particular amount of dues. These dues are paid to the organization and help pay for activities such as special programming, broth-erhood/sisterhood events, dances, formal dinners, and alumni gatherings. Additional costs may include a one time initiation fee, t-shirts, and insurance policies.

Q HOW WILL JOINING A FRATERNITY OR SORORITY AFFECT MY ACADEMIC PURSUITS?A Sororities and fraternities serve as a great re-source for students academically through study hours and tutoring programs. All chapters require a grade point average for initial membership into the organiza-tion. Many of our chapters pride themselves on their outstanding academic achievements.

Q WHAT IS A PHILANTHROPY OR SERVICE PROJECT?A Members of the Multicultural Greek Council take it as part of their mission to support their national philanthropies (not-for-profit causes) financially and physically. Throughout the year, each chapter spends time fundraising and volunteering to help their partic-ular philanthropy. The time spent together on these events is one of the many times that fraternity broth-ers and sisters can bond, while making a difference in someone’s life.

Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1975 at Kean University, NJ. it is the first latina sorority established in the nation. LTA marked a new role for Latina women; one with education, goals and vision in hopes of great success.

The purpose of Lambda Theta Alpha shall be to pro-vide a sisterhood based on Unity, Love, and Respect. To develop strong leaders who will then provide and practice political, social and cultural activities. Promote unity through charitable and educational programs. Maintain a higher standard of learning and serve as a voice for all students.

Now, 37 years later, we have seen the outcome of such an organization. Lambda Theta Alpha has con-tributed to the advancement of all people by helping to produce educated women of many races, ethnicities, and creeds. These women are political leaders, doc-tors, lawyers, teachers, accountants, etc. LTA has also paved the way for many other Latina organizations, which would later pursue the empowering movement that we began in 1975.

REQUIREMENTS TO JOINAll ladies interested in the organization are invited to join the Interested Ladies of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. The interest group is designed to familiarize interested ladies with our organization. Since LTA does not partake in traditional Greek re-cruitment, the interest group allows ladies more time to see if LTA is right for them.

kappa Alpha Psi , a college Fraternity, now comprised of functioning Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on major campuses and in cities throughout the coun-try, is the crystallization of a dream. It is the beautiful realization of a vision shared commonly by the late Revered Founders Elder Watson Diggs; John Milton Lee; Byron kenneth Armstrong; Guy Levis Grant; Ezra Dee Alexander; Henry Tourner Asher; Marcus Peter Blakemore; Paul Waymond Caine; Edward Giles Irvin and George Wesley Edmonds.

It was the vision of these astute men that enabled them in the school year 1910 - 11, more specifically the night of January 5, 1911, on the campus of indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, to sow the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now enjoyed by, college men everywhere, regardless of their color, religion or national origin. It is a fact of which kAPPA ALPHA PSI is justly proud that the Con-stitution has never contained any clause which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of a man from membership merely because of his color, creed, or national origin. The Constitution of kAPPA ALPHA PSI is predicated upon, and dedicated to, the principles of achievement through a truly democratic Fraternity.

REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN• At least 12 credit hours completed• At least a 2.75 GpA (though 3.0 and above is pre-

ferred)• Other specific requirements (such as letters of

After much work and dedication, thirteen men and women were officially initiated into Alpha psi lambda on march 10, 1985. these individuals set the founda-tion for what is now the NATION’S FIRST and LARG-EST CO-ED Latino-oriented fraternity.

Eleven years later, in the Spring of 1996, an interest group developed at DePaul University in Chicago, Illi-nois. Six students aspired to bring the nobility of Alpha Psi Lambda to our university. These six saw a need for unity and leadership in order to support the aspira-tions and successes of future Latino[a] students at DePaul and within the city’s Latino communities. They felt that Alpha Psi Lambda could contribute to what was needed for the Latino[a] population at DePaul. By successfully establishing this network for themselves, they could carry others, no matter the gender nor ethnicity, upon their shoulders.

The Latino culture is very rooted in family and support, therefore Alpha Psi Lambda, to its members, is more than just a fraternity. A-Psi creates a family support system based on brotherhood and sisterhood.

ALPHA PSI LAMBDA is the FIRST CO-ED Latino Fra-ternity. ALPHA PSI LAMBDA is the LARGEST CO-ED Latino Fraternity. ALPHA PSI LAMBDA is the ONLY co-ed Latino/a fraternity at DePaul University.

REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN• must be 18 years of age.• Not be a member of any other social fraternity or sorority.• must have a minimum cumulative GpA of 2.5/4.0 (3.5/5.0) (Rounding of GpAs is not permitted).• must be enrolled in at least six credit hours.• must not be a first-term freshman• transfer and graduate students are permitted that meet the requirements.• must have a sincere interest in Alpha psi lambda.• must complete the member intake process.
