Conference

Retention through Sisterhood

---

Abstract

This presentation will give an insight on how Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc., has had an effect on the retention of its members. Founded at the University of Iowa as a support group for Latina women, Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc., has developed into the largest Latina sorority in the nation, with over 60 chapters throughout the United States. The panel, which will include alumni and present undergraduate members, will discuss their experiences on how the sorority has impacted their college careers. Through this presentation we hope the audience will take away a greater understanding of the positive impact that non-traditional sororities can have on all students, especially students of color in predominantly white institutions.
