| Alpha Rho Chapter History |
 In 2004 three diverse Men in Miami began to organize with the intentions of doing something unprecedented in the state of Florida. These men fought and worked hard for 10 weeks to bring La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity Incorporated to Florida International University, a fraternity that is highly reputable being the only one with chapters at all 8 Ivy League Universities.
On November 21, 2004 these men became the founders of the Alpha Rho Chapter at Florida International University. After breaking ground in the state of Florida, Alpha Rho chapter has worked diligently to bring awareness of the fraternity’s goals which are to reinforce the importance of education, provide a positive image for our community, and bring minority issues to the forefront.
