President's Message
Dear Friends, Supporters, and Community,
​
We cordially invite you to our largest celebration to date — Phi Chapter’s 30th Anniversary: Noche Dorada — an evening honoring three decades of academic achievement, cultural celebration, community service, and brotherhood at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Since its inception, the Phi Chapter of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc. has been committed to uplifting the Latino community and building bridges through education, leadership, and unity. Over the past 30 years, our Hermanos have worked to leave a lasting legacy on campus and beyond. Noche Dorada will be a formal evening filled with food, music, and celebration. We will dedicate a portion of the evening to this year’s Legacy Scholarship recipients and will honor community members for their contributions. Most importantly, it will be a space for all who have supported us — students, alumni, family, partners, and friends — to come together in celebration. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we reflect on our history and the incredible impact we've made on the Latino community. I look forward to another 30 years of being professional, prestigious, premier, and above all—PHATAL. With gratitude, Cesar Romero-Gonzalez President, La Unidad Latina Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc. Phi Chapter
