Annual Charity Ball

Lambda Theta Alpha organized a Charity Ball on February 26, 2001 and donated all proceeds to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). Dance 2XS, The Comedy Company, and Komposit provided the entertainment. The Charity Ball was a huge success that raised several hundred dollars for NORD while at the same time bringing together Multicultural Greek Organizations on campus. Delta Nu Epsilon, Delta Tau Lambda, Lambda Theta Phi, Sigma Lambda Gamma and Zeta Sigma Chi cosponsored the event. The charity ball was of special significance to Lambda Theta Alpha because it was in memory of Nicholas Boccio. Nicholas is a boy whose life was taken at a young age by a rare disease. He was a patient of a Beta Omicron sister who had the pleasure of working very closely with him.

LTA's second annual Charity Ball took place on Saturday, March 16, 2002 in the Michigan Union Pendelton Room. This year, LTA decided to donate all proceeds to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) and the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) to help America's most underrepresented college bound students obtain a higher education. We were honored to have the President and C.E.O. of the UNCF Washtenaw County Chapter speak at the ball. Komposit DJ "The Specialist" provided entertainment. The event was cosponsored by: Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. Beta Pi and Beta Omega chapters, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), La Voz Latina.














"Sister 2 Sister"

Sisters volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club of Detroit for a LTA Michigan Area 1 community service event entitled "Sister 2 Sister." Michigan and Illinois chapters held a day long event for adolescent girls which included educational activities, physical education activities, arts and crafts, and dinner. Sisters helped the girls with their reading and spelling as well as telling them about college life and motivating them to succeed in school. The program was a huge success! Both the sisters and the girls really enjoyed spending time with each other and several new friendships were formed.














Domestic Violence Workshop

Lambda Theta Alpha and Sigma Lambda Gamma sponsored the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC) to facilitate a discussion about dating/domestic violence. SAPAC volunteers talked about the prevalence of acquaintance rape, issues of consent and coercion, and identifying myths about rape. The workshop addressed what to do if it happens and how to help a friend in need, as well as prevention strategies.














Clinique "Great Skin Starts Here" College Tour

On September 18, 2002, Lambda Theta Alpha sponsored Clinique and brought the Clinique "Great Skin Starts Here" College Tour to the University of Michigan. Clinique representatives offered students the opportunity to learn about their particular skin type and how to care for it properly. Clinique set up camp in the middle of the Diag and gave one-on-one skin consulatations & makeovers from Clinique beauty consultants.














College Information Day in Southwest Detroit

The Michigan chapters of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. and Lambda Theta Phi Fraternidad Latina, Inc. teamed up to host a college information session for the youth at Clark Park in Southwest Detroit on June 30, 2001. The children received information about college admissions, financial aid, and college life. The student panel was preceded by a BBQ and softball and soccer games.














El Salvador Earthquake Relief Fund

Lambda Theta Alpha and Lambda Theta Phi hosted a bucket drive on the Diag on February 19, 2001. All proceeds were donated to the Red Cross El Salvador Earthquake Relief Fund. El Salvador was the victim of a 7.6 magnitude earthquake on January 13 and a 6.1 magnitude earthquake on February 13. The earthquakes triggered numerous landslides that killed well over 700 people and injured more than 2,000 leaving the country in a state of disaster.














Wake Up! AIDS in Black & Brown

A two-week outreach and educational campaign held to educate the university community about HIV and AIDS, prevention of HIV/AIDS, and its impact on the African-American/Latino communities.

Sponsored by: African-Students Association, Black Medical Student Association, Black Premedical Association, Black Student Union, La Salud, Latin-American/Native American Medical Student Association, Latino Pre-Health Association, Lambda Theta Alpha, Lambda Theta Phi














Hispanic Scholarship Fund Bucket Drive


Lambda Theta Alpha strongly believes in the importance of education. Education is the key to success and the advancement of the Latino community; through it we can accomplish anything. One way Beta Omicron Chapter has shown its dedication to the continuation of education in the Latino community is by donating to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF). HSF is the largest Hispanic scholarship-granting organization in the nation. HSF recognizes and rewards outstanding Hispanic students in higher education throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. HSF is also Lambda Theta Alpha's national philanthropy.
