Minnesota Betas

Minnesota Betas The Alpha Beta Chapter of Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc is a Latino based multicultural fraternity at the University of Minnesota.

Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity Incorporated is a social fraternity that was founded on April 4, 1986 at the University of Iowa. We are a brotherhood based on cultural understanding and wisdom. Most noteworthy is that 18 men, of whom 15 were of Latin American or Hispanic origin/descent, 2 Asian, and 1 African-American founded Sigma Lambda Beta. We believe in the principles of fairness,

opportunity, and in the equality of all men no matter what their race, culture, or ethnicity. Our biggest goal is to see that all of society can realize the importance of these principles. In order to achieve this goal, we all strive to model these behaviors and present ourselves in a gentlemanly and educated fashion. The Alpha Beta Chapter at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities was founded on April 10th, 1999 with 12 founding members. With over 40 Nationalities, the chapter strives to provide meaningful and rich experiences to the students at the university.

This summer, the brothers of the Alpha Beta chapter of Sigma Lambda Beta have been busy. ๐Ÿ’œ

We partnered with Feed My Starving Children, helping package meals that will be sent to families in Haiti. We also traveled to our own Bro. El Elephanteโ€™s hometown of Worthington, MN, where we volunteered at the 32nd annual Worthington International Festival. And finally we volunteered with the East Isles Neighborhood in an effort to clean up Lake Bde Maka Sho.
