Chi Chapter History |
In 1996, several women at the university of Maryland came together in search of an organization that would promote unity, academic excellence, community service, leadership, and the Latino culture through the bonds of sisterhood. After months of research, they found the organization they had been searching for in Hermandad de Sigma Iota Alpha, Inc. In the spring of 1997, six women went on to undergo the membership process. On April 27, 1997, the women of "Perseverancia Distinta" realized their dream as they became the founding Hermanas of the Chi Chapter at the University of Maryland, College Park. |
