On July 22, 2000 the Beta Chapter of Sigma Omega Nu was established at Sacramento State University. It was founded by 5 Latinas who saw a need for a strong Latina voice on the Sacramento campus. Sigma Omega Nu's foundation was built on the principles of ACADEMICS, CULTURA, and SISTERHOOD. Our objectives are to strengthen cultura, personal, and educational goals while promoting moral, academic, and family support. Through mutual support and encouragement, Sigma Omega Nu instills the importance of education and academic success in the college environment. Members of Sigma Omega Nu hope to obtain the support of all women by being positive role models and striving in creating supportive and lasting relationships with one another.
