Their colors are burgundy and grey with the principles of Unity, Love, and Respect. Their symbols are Pearls, Shell, Palm Tree, and a Moon. They are the first Latina sorority in the nation and the largest Latina-based sorority in the U.S. Since 1975, it has been their mission to provide sisterhood based on Unity, Love, and Respect.
