The University of Maryland, Baltimore County is an honors university located in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland, founded in 1966. A member of the University System of Maryland, UMBC ranks 13th among all public campuses in the nation on major awards in the arts and humanities. Recently, UMBC was named one of the nation's "hot schools" in the 2003 Kaplan/Newsweek How to Get Into College guide.
Lambda Chapter Charters: UMBC is a university full of ethnic diversity with a minority population of over 30% 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 achieved full recognition from the university during their first semester on campus (Fall 2001) and achieved Lambda Chapter status in Spring 2003. The sisters of the Lambda Chapter of Kappa Phi Lambda will continue in their efforts of upholding the Kappa Phi Lambda name with the values of sisterhood, service and cultural diversity.
