NALFO Collaborates for International Badge Day:

A Time to Remember

Monday, March 7, 2011

International Badge Day was established in 1997 by the National Panhellenic Conference to
set aside a day or an event for women across the nation to wear their sorority badges or
Greek letters in a celebration of sisterhood. The National Association of Latino Fraternal
Organizations and the National Multicultural Greek Council celebrate in their own diverse
ways to recognize women.

On Monday, March 7, these women will celebrate International Badge Day during National
Women’s History Month and will honor their separate and distinct Greek-letter affiliations by
wearing their badges or letters. It is a day set aside to acknowledge successful women
around the globe, whether they are U.S. Senators or university freshmen. Each group is
distinct in its fraternal bonds and each will celebrate in different ways, but all will celebrate
the diverse interests of women.

We invite all NALFO member sororities to honor their respective organizations and unite
with their fellow sorority women across the nation for this important event. This year’s
theme is: “Keep Your Fraternal Experience Close to Your Heart.”
