5-k Run



MAKING IT TO THE TOP!

In June 2008, the Betas retreated to the White Mountains for sisterly bonding. During the day the sisters visited the highest peak in the Northeast, Mount Washington, NH. While Nancy and Rebeca climbed 6288 feet to the summit, Jennifer and Johanna made their way up on the Railway Cog. Whether by foot or cog, one thing they all agreed on was that the views were fantastic and the trip was unforgettable. During the evenings the sisters prepared meals together while they warm heartedly reminisced about the wonderful memories of our beloved sisterhood. Cheers to another great getaway!!

HISTORY & MISSION

The major foundations of the sorority are trust, camaraderie, and dependability. The membership is open to all female students regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, religion and any other legally protected characteristics.

The sisters assist the Latino community in the areas of public education, law, philanthropy, youth development, and HIV/AIDS awareness
