Fraternity History
Lambda Theta Phi, Fraternidad Latina, Inc. was
founded on December 1, 1975 at Kean College in Union, New Jersey. In September
of 1975, Founding Father Agustin Garcia entered Kean College as a freshman. A politically active individual, he ran
for a position on the Freshman Student Council and became the first Latino elected to the Kean College student government.
A man of vision, he was concerned over the disunity among the Latin students and took it upon himself to begin to organize
the Latinos at Kean.
From September to November of 1975, Founding Father Garcia and
a group of other students met to find the solution to uniting the different Latino groups on campus. Founding Father
Garcia initiated these meetings and reached out to all Latino students, irrespective of their ethnic background. The
major topics of discussion at these meetings were the need to become politically conscious and active as Latino students and
the unification of all Latinos.
At a meeting on November 11, 1975, Founding Father Garcia proposed
the idea of founding a fraternity. He believed this structure would best meet the needs of the Latinos by promoting
unity through brotherhood............
Nu Chapter was founded in March 8, 1992. Also, Mu and Xi Chapters were founded. Nu Chapter
was created when seven strong individuals were inducted into our fraternity. They are called the "Leaders of the Nu" for being
the leaders and the foundation for Nu Chapter. The founding brothers are: Carlos A. Laborde, Costantino Chinchey, Allen Gellibert,
Rafael Abreu Jr., Jorge Aviles, Robert Figueroa Jr., and George I. Flores. The founding brothers wanted the Latino presence
and voice on campus that would benefit the community. After exploring many possibilities, they decided that Lambda Theta Phi
would be the choice.
