(ΣΛΒ) (known as Betas or SLB) is the largest historically Latino based fraternity in the United States, established with multicultural membership. Founded in 1986 at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa the primary purpose of Sigma Lambda Beta is to promote Latino culture based upon the values of fairness, opportunity and equality. The four key principles that serve as pillars to this purpose are Brotherhood, Scholarship, Community Service, and Cultural Awareness. HistorySigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc. was founded April 4, 1986 at the University of Iowa by 18 men who saw a need for a Latino fraternity at the predominately non-Hispanic white university. Spearheaded by founder Baltazar Mendoza Madrigal, a member of Phi Beta Sigma, the fraternity established that it will honor the principles of brotherhood, scholarship, community service and cultural awareness.[1] The fraternity saw a rapid growth in its early years, according to Founding Father Ricardo Zamudio: {{block quote|There was a lot of travelling involved in going to other campuses to talk with men who were potentially interested, and having them come to our campus to learn more about our organization. From there it slowly became easier to expand to other campuses, as our network of members available to talk to groups at different campuses continued to expand."[2]}}Founding fathers{{columns-list|colwidth=30em|* Baltazar Mendoza-Madrigal
