Student Engagement & Belonging is thrilled to announce it has extended an invitation to Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. (SLA) for expansion at Wichita State University, with the formation of an interest group starting Fall of 2026.
Over the past year, a selection committee and members of the Fraternity & Sorority Life Community have reviewed and evaluated several national organizations to decide our next chapter to invite to campus. By inviting Sigma Lambda Alpha to establish a chapter at Wichita State, the university seeks to expand opportunities for students to connect with organizations that promote scholarship, service, cultural awareness, and personal growth.As part of the organization's establishment process, SLA will spend its first year on campus operating as an interest group known as ROSAS. During this developmental period, members will work closely with university staff, student leaders, and national organization representatives to build a strong foundation, demonstrate organizational sustainability, and cultivate chapter readiness before receiving an official charter from the national organization.
Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc., was founded on October 20, 1992, at Texas Women’s University in Denton, Texas. Their Sisterhood was founded to better local communities, graduate from college and go out into the world and be agents of change. The outstanding women who form their sisterhood are true examples of a Señorita. Although Latina-based, SLA is a multiculturally accepting organization focusing on community service, academic achievement, cultural awareness, and sisterhood.

Once chartered, Sigma Lambda Alpha Sorority, Inc. will join Wichita State’s growing Fraternity & Sorority Life community of 25 organizations and 550+ students. The community currently averages a 3.28 GPA and raised over $65,000 for various philanthropic causes in 2025. Members have also completed over 20,000 hours of community service in the past year and continue to take great pride in being agents in campus traditions. Sigma Lambda Alpha will join the Cultural Greek Council.
The Cultural Greek Council community is extremely excited to welcome ROSAS of Sigma Lambda Alpha into their council and look forward to their participation in annual CGC events, such as Yard Show, CGC Sweetheart and many more.
