Lambda Sigma Gamma multicultural women’s sorority founded on October 24, 1986.

Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority was founded on the campus of Sacramento State University in 1986. The Founders realized that the campus did not offer an organization that met the needs of women from minority backgrounds. They were interested in forming an organization that would not only act as a family away from home, but that would also bring together women from various backgrounds and incorporate the principles of self improvement, scholastic excellence, civic responsibility and leadership. Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority became a reality on October 24, 1986, when twenty-seven women sharing the same interest, beliefs and goals came together. Since then, 21 additional chapters have joined, with our most recent chapter at California State University, Fullerton on November 20, 2004. Over the years, Lambda Sigma Gamma has grown to include thousands of women from different creeds, ethnicity's, cultures, social-economic backgrounds, physical talents, mental abilities and sexual preferences. We are continuously growing and welcoming new women to take part in our sisterhood.

Lambda Sigma Gamma is an academic, community, social, and multi-cultural sorority. The organization is a solid network of women in higher education, who have chosen to unite in order to enhance our college experiences. Lambda Sigma Gamma was founded with the purpose of creating a support system for women once they have entered the university. Through the support that its members offer each other, Lambda Sigma Gamma has developed a strong, safe and loving environment where friendships grow, characters build, knowledge is shared, and a multicultural sisterhood is created.
