Latino America Unida, Lambda Alpha Upsilon Fraternity, Inc. (ΛΑΥ or LAU, also known as Condors) is a Latino oriented Greek letter intercollegiate fraternity founded on December 10, 1985, at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
[3] In the fall of 1985 at the University at Buffalo, sixteen young men of various ethnic backgrounds decided to form a support group that would provide a social and cultural outlet for students of Latin American descent.
The university's Greek system lacked an organization dedicated to the needs of the Latino community.
To meet those needs, the group chose to pursue recognition as the first Latino-oriented Greek-letter organization on campus.
[1] The alumni chapters of Lambda Alpha Upsilon consist of working professionals and graduate-level students who were inducted as undergraduate members and are established in the workforce or continuing their education while deciding to remain active within the fraternity.
