LAMBDA CHAPTER HISTORY:

UMBC is a university full of ethnic diversity with a minority population of over 30 percent and rising. Seeing this, three women, Nhi Danh, Ann Pak, and Ludy Yi sought to create an organization that would adhere to the needs of women who wanted to make a difference. The answer came with Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. These three women worked long and hard to create the first and only cultural sorority on campus.

Kappa Phi Lambda at UMBC has achieved full recognition from the university during their first semester on campus (Fall 2001) and acheived Lambda Chapter status in Spring 2003. The sisters of the Lambda Chapter of Kappa Phi Lambda will continue in their efforts of upholding the KPL name with the values of sisterhood, service and cultural diversity.
