With the growth of the Sorority, the Iota Lambda Chapter was chartered on the campus of the University of Florida on May 17, 1975 by a group of young women known as the “25 Pearls of Distinction.” These women enhanced the University of Florida campus with their spirit of sisterhood, service and scholarship. Today, Iota Lambda continues to perpetuate the principles and standards set forth by its founders through sisterly activities, philanthropic endeavors and academics. The lovely ladies of Iota Lambda proudly paint the University of Florida campus apple green and salmon pink, carrying the legacy of greatness with them everywhere.
