Community Service is an extremely important part of Lambda Theta Alpha.
This is when we have a chance to give back to those who gave to us.
Beta Alpha Chapter's goal this year was to develop a chapter philanthropy
and increase the number of community services we participate in. Well,
we succeeded in both. Our chapter philanthropy is Habitat for Humanity; and
due to our hard work, our National Board honored us with the Outstanding Community
Service Award.
It reads:
Lambda Theta Alpha
Latin Sorority,Inc.
Presents
Beta Alpha Chapter

Outstanding Community Service Award
For your commitment to the Unity, Strengthening and Advancement of the Latino Community.
We were also recognized by the University of Hartford for our work.
There is an awards, "Women making a difference," which we were nominate for.
Out of eighty students, we were the only organization and one of the five finalist
along with our beautiful sister, Luanda.
