Alpha Epsilon Chapter of La Unidad Latina, ΛΥΛ

The Most Prestigious Latino Fraternity in the Nation. Leadership through academic achievement, cultural awareness, brotherhood, & community service

The Alpha Epsilon Chapter of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc. was founded here at the University of Virginia and at Virginia Commonwealth University on December 10th, 1999. Our chapter was begun by six young men that were seeking to build a unique space for themselves and others that they could call their own. They accomplished the goal of bridging the University, Latino, a

nd other communities in the founding of a chapter of La Unidad Latina. The founding Hermanos of the Alpha Epsilon Chapter were Salvadoran, African-American, Pakistani, Kenyan, Panamanian, and Jordanian. Even though they were ethnically, nationally, and religiously diverse, or perhaps because of that, they came together to give birth to a chapter of La Unidad Latina that would not only seek to address the needs of the Latino community, but those of many different communities as well.

On April 29, 2023, our Hermandad learned of the passing of our beloved Hermano, Angel-Ariel Casas (Alpha, Spring 2012).

Angel was well known not only in our fraternity but throughout the Latino community for his drive, dedication and passion for fitness and wellness. As a professional body builder and impactful personal trainer, he influenced and changed the lives of many. He continuously shared his fitness journey and wisdom to inspire others to be their best selves and to live life healthy and happy. Angel was a successful business owner with his company Bodies By Angel, LLC, where he coached many people on their journey of wellness and fitness. Angel was also an ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist, Precision Nutrition Certified, and an NPC Classic Physique Competitor.

With all that was going on in 2020, Angel shared with us again his personal journey as a cancer survivor. That year, he was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic testicular cancer that spread to 3 major organs. His journey was not easy but he took it on the challenge with optimism and determination. Angel continued to be an inspiration to so many of us as we supported him through his journey process. Angel’s spirit will forever live in our hearts and in our Hermandad as an inductee into our Pi Sigma Chapter, where our Heavenly Hermanos who are no longer with us await to grip him and welcome him home.

We are still in disbelief, Hermano, but we will always honor your life and impact. As you journey home to join our Heavenly Hermanos, you will continue to live in your hearts and we will lift up your name and spirit…Para Siempre. Que en Paz Descanse!

This past Friday, Hermano Daniel Alvarenga spoke about the history of Room 33 and its association with the Alpha Epsilon chapter of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc. as part of The History of Latinx Student Activism at UVA Teach-In hosted by HEAAL.

Room 33 belonged to one of our chapter founders, Hermano Mohammad Shoaib Khan Afridi, and four other Hermanos have lived there ever since. The room is thus a space of great significance to both our chapter and the Latinx community at UVA as a whole.
