Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity Inc

What Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity Inc does

Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc. is a 501(c)(8) fraternal benefit society founded in 1986 at Iowa State University, operating as the largest Latino-based fraternity with multicultural membership in the United States. The organization is governed by a six-member elected Executive Board of Directors plus the National Chairman, with day-to-day operations handled by a small executive office in North Liberty, Iowa. It is supported by two affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit subsidiaries — the Education Foundation, which administers scholarships and educational programming, and the Omega Fund, which provides financial assistance to families of deceased brothers.

The fraternity's product surface centers on a GreekTrack-powered membership database branded the Stallion Network, where members maintain accounts, access fraternity documents, register for events, and purchase member-exclusive merchandise. Core convening products are the biennial BetaCon national convention (governance, elections, House of Delegates), the biennial Leadership Institute (leadership training for undergraduate members), and the annual Alumni Brotherhood Retreat. Supporting programs include the 86 Club lifetime alumni membership tier, Books 4 Betas textbook assistance, the principal-partnered Alumni News newsletter, and the El Iluminador blog, alongside a multi-platform social presence.

Distribution is organized through 142 active collegiate chapters across 30 US states for undergraduate recruitment, with 30+ regional Alumni Networks and 10+ Alumni Associations providing post-graduation engagement. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership dues (the principal income stream at the chapter level), lifetime 86 Club alumni contributions, registration fees for biennial/annual events, donations through the two affiliated 501(c)(3) entities, and licensed merchandise via the Stallion Store and partner Greek Licensing. No consolidated revenue is publicly disclosed.
