Latino-based Fraternal organizations to host Unity Summit
Albany, NY – For the first time ever, six national Latino-based fraternal organizations will host a Unity Summit for its undergraduate members in the Northeast region. On Saturday, November 7th, an expected 200 undergraduate members will convene on the University of Albany campus to work toward a common goal of unity.
After years of negative images and interactions with one-another, the national Presidents and Vice Presidents of these organizations will host this Unity Summit to begin solving these issues. The purpose of the Summit is to bring together the undergraduate members of these organizations to build a positive working relationship, encourage members to collaborate on programmatic events, and to build upon the foundations of the organizations original vision of empowerment.
The members in attendance will be participating in the program entitled “The Yard,” created by Robert N. Page, Jr., who has held this program on other college campuses. “An event of this magnitude is historic in nature,” said Ray Dela Torre, Unity Summit Committee Member. “The only time we are actually sitting next to each other, it’s at a step or stroll show. So much time we waste battling each other. But now we will sit down together and actually break bread together. Hopefully our undergraduate chapters will see the light.”
The participants in the Unity Summit are members of Lambda Alpha Upsilon Fraternity, Inc., Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity, Inc., Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc., La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc., Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc. Delegation will be focused on the Northeast Region where the six organizations are heavily represented.
