About Us
Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad is the first Latina-focused sorority founded at an Ivy-league institution, we were established on April 16, 1988 at Cornell University. Patricia Rivera, Maria Caban, Eva Marie Sosa, Migdalia Franklin and Irma Almirall-Padamsee strove to establish an organization that would transcend their collegiate experience and consolidate their strength as responsible leaders of the community. They worked diligently to develop an impactful organization whose mission and goals would encompass the experiences of all women, but especially those of U.S. Latinas and whose ideals would nurture the growth of its members throughout their lives.
