LAMBDA PI UPSILON SORORITY

The Six Pillars of Strength

 

The State University of New York at Geneseo otherwise known as SUNY Geneseo is an extraordinary university locale. To some individuals, this location is a small location on a New York State map with little importance. However, to the members of this organization SUNY Geneseo has great significance, it is our motherland. A predominantly Caucasian campus with a diminutive minority population was the driving force behind our Six Pillars of Strength, to eagerly seek commonality, cultural identity and growth of mind. They aspired to address, combat, and earnestly attempt a resolution to the increasing complexity and seriousness of womanhood problems, in particularly those of Latinas. Their desires led them the Lambda Way to experience the unknown. They had a great deal of faith, vision and ambition in their capabilities and believed that as a closer support system they would provide others, especially Latinas, with the strength to succeed. Through sacrifices and struggles they confronted challenges of women of color by providing a sisterly network of strength, substantiality and empowerment. Defying social and political boundaries, on November 6, 1992 they succeeded in creating a new path in which women of all walks of life can follow.
