Mission Sigma Omega Nu, Latina Interest Sorority, Inc. was established on November 6, 1996 at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The Founding Mothers of our sorority sought to create a strong Latina voice and presence on campus by fostering a community based on the three objectives of Academics, Cultura, and Sisterhood. The purpose of Sigma Omega Nu is to create sisterhood, scholastic excellence, self-improvement, Latino/a awareness, and to provide community service. Though we are a Latina Interest Sorority we welcome and embrace members across cultural, ethnic, religious, political, socioeconomic, and sexual orientation spectrums. We wholeheartedly believe that we can make a strong impact in our diverse communities by encouraging and empowering those around us and fostering a safe space for all.
