Founding Hermano Frankie Gonzalez was also very instrumental in bringing LUL to Syracuse University after he realized that Latinos had no representation in S.U Greek life. The concept of a Latino fraternity became very intriguing. A fraternity would inspire brotherhood among Latinos and perhaps spark activity, which would foster a positive image. Six men signed their letter of intent. In this lett
er the seeds of Theta Chapter were sewn. Our founders came with the force and determination to make a name for our organization. Not only would the organization promote cultural awareness and pride within the community, but also it would serve as a support network for discontented students. So, at a time when the national organization was still very young, these six men worked diligently to establish the 8th chapter (Theta) of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Incorporated. That same year LUL also established chapters at SUNY Albany (Eta) and Rutgers University New Brunswick (Iota). At 2:30 am on Saturday April 27th, 1991 the
Theta Chapter of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity Inc. was born at Syracuse University. On this date six men received the title of Hermano de La Fraternidad. Jose Waldo Escolastico
