In 1988, sixteen resilient womyn of Montclair State University(formerly Montclair State College), in Upper Montclair, NJ, sought to provide womyn campuswide with an element that prided itself on the prism of ethnic, political, and religious backgrounds reflected throughout their university. Together, these womyn created a sisterhood where each womyn contributed a unique persona to learn and build from by coming together as one.
Thus, the mermaids of Lambda Tau Omega Sorority, Inc. were born.
Founding Mothers
Today, each chapter of Lambda Tau Omega Sorority, Inc. continues the legacy, each sister a diverse womyn with new goals and ideas. Each mermaid is a special, treasured womyn, dedicated to spreading the knowledge and benefit of diversity to other womyn campus and nationwide.
