Pi Chapter History: Our Beginnings
Preciosa Pi, the sixteenth chapter of Sigma Omega Nu (SON) was established on March 29, 2019 at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI). The twenty-two young womxn were led by pledge moms Leslie Pineda and Jennifer Palomino. The founding sisters include Rosàlia Beltràn, Sally Fernandez, Anais Checa, Adriana Gonzalez, Kimberly Moreno, Kathleen Flores, Celina Campos, Jocelyn Lugo, Jeanette Monzon, Jessica De Luis, Valentina Santos, Elizabeth Castañon, Sophia Bejar, Giselle Dominguez, Stephanie Munides, Vanessa Chavez, Adamaris Barrueta, Amber Gonzalez, Crystal Malta, Carla Phillips, Emilie Carvajal, and Janet De La Cruz.
In 2011, Latina Leadership Coalition (LLC) was established with the goal of someday becoming a national sorority. LLC was seen as the underdog and described as a “club” rather than a local sorority on campus. With many misconceptions and rejections later, LLC took a stand against the norm. Soon after, Sigma Omega Nu sisters came to campus to share information about the sisterhood. We found similar objectives and suddenly knew we had found a home away from home. After numerous meetings with administrative staff, we persisted with our battle in becoming the first national Latina interest sorority at CSUCI.
Through our motto “strong roots, stronger womxn”, Pi Chapter strives to empower all womxn, cultivate strong leaders, and encourage personal development. We are proud to be diverse, multicultural, and believe that together academic excellence can be achieved.
