13. Lambda Pi Theta OUR MISSION: "Lambda Pi Theta is an organization created with primary focus on getting our sisters on one accord and encouraging each other to take steps higher up the corporate ladder. We are a mulit-cultural sorority that promotes unity, not only amongst ourselves but within our communities. Within LPT, we hold chat sessions called Just Us, which gives us a time to exhale where we are able to let out our trials, tribulations and stress that we as women encounter on a daily basis. In Lambda Pi Theta we have daughters that are in need of that mother figure and sisters that are in need of that sister to sister bond." We also represent and present ourselves as Queens and will not be treated no lower than. We are all about unity amongst everyone there we have created a purpose. Our sole purpose of our continuing dedication to this process is we have a dream, to become the first online Sorority and to provide support and friendship to our fellow classmates. Online school demands in itself a great sense of independent study, often students feel overwhelmed and often give up on the dream to complete their education. We hope this organization will fulfill the needs for interaction with other classmates and give a great unity to the student body. - from LPT’s website
