National Philanthropy

Lambda Theta Alpha serves thousands of hours each year to a variety of philanthropic causes and needs. In the effort to create a more united and greater impact nationally, Lambda Theta Alpha selected a national philanthropy. In January of 2010, LTA became an official collegiate partner to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, becoming the first individual Latino Greek organization to commit fully to the hospital's efforts. With this partnership, LTA provides our resources of community service and activism and more importantly, another direct link to the Hispanic community for St. Jude. LTA has pledged to raise awareness about childhood cancer and St. Jude in the Latin community, as well as fundraise for the hospital through a variety of events and programs.

Lambda Theta Alpha asks all to join in on the fight against childhood cancer. Your donations will make a difference in the lives of many children and their families.

Alpha Eta Alumnae Chapter Philanthropy

Alpha Eta Alumnae Chapter has picked the Good Shepard Center for Homeless Women & Children as our chapter philanthropy since our establishment.

Good Shepherd Shelter’s mission is to stop the generational cycle of domestic violence by providing individualized, comprehensive services and shelter to battered women and their children and by raising the level of community awareness through advocacy and education.

Their Vision:

Good Shepherd Shelter envisions a world where all women and children are freed from the cycle of domestic violence and have an opportunity to live their lives fully, sustained by the sense of their dignity, independence and potential to contribute to the lives of others.

Their Goals:

To help each mother and child to heal from the trauma of abuse and violence
To help the mother to become independent financially and emotionally so she never has to subject her children to violence again
To teach the children interpersonal skills that are respectful and violence-free and show them that they have choices and do not have to perpetuate the generational cycle of violence in their lives
To bring the children up to grade level and beyond, as well as “permission to dream” of further education, a fulfilling career and the potential to contribute to the lives of others
