"My journey to becoming a Brother was an interesting one. I had heard of Lambda Theta Phi through my ex-girlfriend who is an LTA (Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc.) and then again after a joint meeting between Towson’s Latin American Student Organization and the Black Student Union. I was asked by my then acquaintance, Will Lugo, if I was interested in attending an informational meeting. I agreed since there was nothing to lose but maybe an hour or so of my time. After the informational I was really impressed by the quality of the Brothers and continued with more interest. An interest group was formed of four guys and then work began on trying to pledge. Even at this point I really had no intent on pledging for any fraternity but was enjoying the time I was spending in getting to know the individuals who would later become my Brothers. I pledged Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. because of the values, similar beliefs, and service to all communities and philanthropic efforts. More importantly I pledged because of the bond of Brotherhood I had established in the interest group and the fact that through the fraternity I could grow in so many facets of my academic, social and personal life.  I AM a PROUD Brother of the FIRST Latin Fraternity in the NATION, Lambda Theta Phi Fraternidad Latina, Incorporada." - Engin Toper

"Since the Spring of 2004, Willie Chacon, a brother from Beta Gamma Chapter, Nova Southeastern University, continuously asked me to join.  I thought nothing of it at first since I was not interested in fraternities or Greek life.  However, I went to a few events with him and it sparked an interest in me, so I went out to an interest meeting to see what the fraternity was all about.  That’s where my future line brothers first saw that LAMBDA was truly passionate about helping the community and forming a Brotherhood.  Throughout the interest group process I built a strong bond with my fellow interests and I knew we were ready.  I pledged Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. because of its Tradition and Values.  Being Latino in college is a feat in and of itself, adding a Brotherhood that helps create Latino leaders just solidified a great college experience.  LAMBDA men are PROUD and we are LEADERS."

"After finding out about Lambda Theta Phi in Spring of 2006, it was interesting to me that it was the FIRST Latino fraternity founded in the United States. However, Lambda Theta Phi was not here at Towson University. One reason that I joined this organization is because it gave my Brothers and I the opportunity to become Founding Brothers. Besides becoming another stepping-stone for the expansion of the fraternity, I felt that through this Brotherhood I could find a support group and resource that I would be able to utilize to learn more about the Latino culture. Afterward I can pass the cultural knowledge on to my family as well as the LAMBDA family and to others willing to learn. In pursuit of graduating and getting out into the real world I have found that Lambda Theta Phi can help me develop morally and professionally through its many philanthropic projects, programs and socials. Demographically Lambda Theta Phi has already influenced me to travel outside of where I have already been and opened my eyes in understanding the customs de los Latinos en Estados Unidos." - Juan Romero Jr.
