Parsippany, NJ March 14, 2011 – It is with great excitement that the National Executive Board of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. welcomes our newest colony to our Brotherhood, University of Maryland, College Park, MD. We proudly introduce our newest Brothers from UMD: Douglas Jimenez, Benjamin Martinez, Brian Obando, and Christopher Hall.
These gentlemen have worked tirelessly over the past year to bring Lambda Theta Phi onto their respective campus. Through perseverance and fortitude they achieved their goal of becoming Brothers of the First Latin Fraternity in the nation. They have solidified a strong foundation and bond in which they will carry out with them not only in their school but their community.
We would like to thank our National Expansion Team and the induction officer of the line, Brother Jose Valerio (Gamma Mu Chapter) for all their hard work and dedication to this endeavor. The Brotherhood truly appreciates all you have done. Brothers, let’s continue to move Lambda forward and always remember, En La Unión Esta La Fuerza!
