Description: Lambda Alpha Upsilon Fraternity, Inc. was founded on December 10th, 1985 at the University of Buffalo when sixteen men formed a support group to provide a social and cultural outlet for students of Latin American descent. LAU is a brotherhood of professional men working to promote the development of the Latino community throughout colleges and neighborhoods across the nation. We are committed to uniting the community by working with other groups to promote cultural awareness and understanding. We sponsor programs that celebrate the richness of our heritage. The brotherhood serves as a support system to assist its members in realizing their personal and professional goals and empowers the Latino community by establishing a network of professionals. The Hermanos of Lambda Alpha Upsilon strive to become positive and productive role models within their universities, communities and professions.

Although Lambda Alpha Upsilon is a Latino-oriented fraternity, membership is not limited to students of Latino descent. The brotherhood enjoys and welcomes a vast and diverse group of individuals representing many ethnic backgrounds. It uses this diversity to learn from its members and preserve its strong fraternal bond. Lambda Alpha Upsilon is constantly looking for bright, energetic and professional men who hold the same vision.

Understanding the principles, upon which we were founded, helps us work toward a brighter future. The mission of Lambda Alpha Upsilon Fraternity is to be a network of professionals that promotes brotherhood, scholarship and service to the community.
