In the mid 1980s there was a surge of Latinos completing higher education, yet many colleges and universities were unequipped to handle the social and academic needs of these students. At the Ohio State University, 13 noble men and women founded a co-educational fraternity for students of Hispanic and Latino origin now called Alpha Psi Lambda National, Inc. A fraternity which embraces diversity, encourages cultural awareness, and is inclusive of all races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations and all other social identifiers.
Today Alpha Psi Lambda National, Inc. (ΑΨΛ) has grown to include over 3,100 members primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States; with 33 chapters and 7 affiliate chapters spanning 16 states from the East to West coasts.
HISTORY
