On November 3, 1993 a letter was sent to the National Board of Sigma Lambda Gamma by Harida Femandez indicating interest in the formation of a sorority that would represent Latina women on the Bowling Green State University campus. On February 19 1994, the National Board issued the group of 5 women colony status. The women recruited the necessary amount of members, worked hard to achieve the requirements for chapter status and finished their new member education, with the help of the Kappa Chapter at the University of Toledo. On October 22, 1995, the women received a letter declaring them the Omicron Chapter.  We recognize Harida Fernandez, Marta Romero, Elisette Lopez, Julia Figueroa, Rosamaria Sanchez as the Omicron Chapter Founders. After many trials and loss of chapter status, on December 17, 2000, 20 women jointly assisted in the reinstatement of the Omicron Chapter. These women are known as our Phoenix Founders.
