Lambda Chapter Gala 2025

Since our founding in 2004, our Luminous Lambda Chapter has been a cherished organization that brings together undergraduates, alumni, and our community to celebrate cultural awareness, community service, academic excellence, and, most importantly, sisterhood. This gala is more than just a celebration; it's a night dedicated to our bonds and shared mission and values.

Join us for an evening filled with dining, live entertainment, inspiring speeches, and the company of our incredible sisterhood and loved ones. We invite you to participate in this special night and help us celebrate more years of Luminous Lambda to come!
