Join Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Seņoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. in celebrating
our annual RAICES week from September 25th 2011 to October 1st 2011!
RAICES is a sorority-wide event that is put on by each chapter of the organization.
Hermanas across the U.S conduct various events and community service projects
at their respective campus and within their local community.
This year our theme is Marianismo. Marianismo is defined as the counterpart to
machismo and as the expectation of femininity. It is derived from the Virgin Mary
and is an expectation that women are spiritually higher than men and thus must
be virginal, not sexual, motherly, and docile. This theme should empower women
and allow everyone to learn that women are sexual beings, strong-minded, independent
of men, and can choose to fulfill their goals regardless of societal or cultural
norms.
Here is a list of events we will have this week, be sure to check some out:
