About Lambda Sigma Gamma

Greek Life: While the pursuit of academic achievement is the primary reason for attending the university, it is the activities outside of the classroom that significantly contribute to a students' all around college experience. Whether it is via leadership, scholarship, community service, social events or philanthropic participation, Lambda Sigma Gamma provides the framework for lasting friendships and fond memories. Sisters unite to share common ideals, standards, and goals - all while helping one another reach full academic potential. With every accomplishment, disappointment and new experience, we know that we can count on our sisters to be by our side. The road towards a college degree is enhanced ten-fold by being a member of Lambda Sigma Gamma . . . and once it is attained, it only continues to flourish, as our Sisterhood is a life long commitment!

Sisterhood: We are an academic, community, social, and multicultural sorority. We are a solid network of women in higher education, who have chosen to unite in order to enhance our college experiences. We were founded with the purpose of creating a support system for women in the university by providing our members with a family away from home. Via the support we offer one another, we have developed a strong, safe and loving environment where friendships grow, characters build, knowledge is shared, and a multicultural sisterhood is created.

Academic Excellence: Our principle purpose for attending the university is to receive an education, therefore Lambda Sigma Gamma acts as a strong foundation for encouraging academic achievement. Via informational workshops, effective networking, and strong support from one another- we strive toward our primary goal of Academic Excellence. Our Chapter has continuously been recognized for obtaining one of the highest grade point averages amongst all greek organizations on the UCSB campus and has also been recognized for it's extremely successful and impressive member graduation rate.

Multiculturalism: Lambda Sigma Gamma is a Multicultural Sorority. As Sisters, we believe that Multicultural is not just a word, but rather a deep rooted feeling which lies in our hearts. As individuals, we have come together from different parts of the world. We are from different creeds, ethnic groups, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We accept women with different interests, majors and religious beliefs. Our physical talents and mental abilities vary, and we may also have different sexual preferences. It is within these differences that we choose to unite our lives and share our dreams, in hopes of educating one another and bettering ourselves. We continuously strive to meet our goal of bringing together women from diverse worlds under the spirit of Multiculturalism.
