The Leadership, Advancement, and Development of our Young Sisters (LADYS) Program was established by Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. in the Fall of 2001 by the Theta Epsilon Graduate/Professional Chapter located in Buffalo/Rochester, New York. Understanding the sensitive issues young high school women face, the members (Hermanas) wanted to create a curriculum that addressed and managed the needs of this population.
