OUR PILLARS
ACADEMICS
We believe scholarship enhances our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, improves our ability to understand societal problems, and aids in developing solutions to those problems.
CULTURE
We believe culture links us with our past, defines our present, and provides direction for our future. La Fraternidad shall encourage each Hermano to learn, maintain, and promote the richness of all our histories, languages, and traditions.
BROTHERHOOD
We believe brotherhood, the embodiment of unity, friendship, and spirit, is the ideal which should guide our actions both as an organization and as individuals.
SERVICE
We believe every individual should strive to positively affect society. La Fraternidad shall devote itself to serving the community. Our P.A.T.H.E. initiative is a college-focused initiative focused on empowering middle school/high school students from underserved backgrounds in their quest to attending and graduating from four-year colleges.
