Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated, is a sisterhood based on Unity, Love, and Respect. These three principles define our organizations’ character, membership, and dedication to achieving and promoting success. Our Delta Eta Chapter encompasses these principles and remind ourselves the importance of each one. Since our establishment at the University of Idaho in Spring 2006, we have created traditions and great bonds with one another and work collectively in order to pursue the vision of our organization.
