The '''Latino Greek Movement''' seen on college campuses in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico) was at the [[Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute]] (RPI), in Troy, New York in 1898 when a group of Latin American students organized the '''Union Hispano Americana''' ('''UHA''') as a cultural and intellectual [[secret society]] based on the ideology of [[Pan-Americanism]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Carnegie Endowment for International Peace|date=1952|title=Universities and world affairs.|url=https://www.worldcat.org/title/universities-and-world-affairs/oclc/1515126|journal=Universities and world affairs.|language=en|issn=0502-6393}}</ref> In New Jersey on December 1, 1975, Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. was founded at Kean University in Union New Jersey.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Fajardo|first=Oliver|date=2015|title=A Brief History of International Latin American Student Fraternities: A Movement That Lasted 86 Years (1889-1975)|journal=Journal of Hispanic Higher Education|volume=14|doi=10.1177/1538192714548928}}</ref> With its birth, Lambda Theta Phi became the one of many organization to serve the Latino community in the United States.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Heidenreich|first=L.|date=2006|title=Against the grain: Confronting Hispanic service organizations in times of increasing inequalities, 1930 and 2005.|journal=Journal of Latinos and Education}}</ref> With the organizations second chapter at Rutgers University-New Brunswick in the fall of 1978, Lambda Theta Phi was well on its way to growing the Latino Greek movement. A Latina sorority was established soon after Lambda Theta Phi at Kean University as well. [[Lambda Theta Alpha]] Latin Sorority, Inc. became the first Latina Greek-lettered organization in the country. Both of these Greek-lettered organizations saw the Latino Greek Movement's infancy days. The movement was created in the state of New Jersey with the establishment of other organizations. |
