Lambda Kappa Mu Sorority, Inc.
Lambda Kappa Mu Sorority, Inc., is a national sisterhood of college educated, business and professional women. Florence K. Williamson-Norman founded the organization in 1937 at the Upper Manhattan Branch of the YMCA in New York City, along with 25 other women. The sorority represents women of varying business interests and professional activities. Lambda Kappa Mu members are encouraged to assume leadership responsibility in local civic affairs for home and community improvement and to cooperate with those organizations pledged to principles of human dignity, education, equal opportunity, fair employment practices and housing.

The women of Lambda Kappa Mu are dedicated to the improvement of life in their communities. As such, are an affiliated of the National Council of Negro Women and the Black Women's Agenda. Our ideals: Sisterhood, Achievement, Service and Scholarship, are the cornerstones upon which our Sorority is built and can be seen in all of our members in the chapters across the United States.

The national program focuses on Educational Involvement, Social and Community issues, Health Initiatives, Political and Cultural Awareness and Youth Advocacy. Each chapter tailors its programs and projects to meet the specific needs of their communities. Our youth program, The Kopelles, provides guidance and mentoring for teenage girls. Financial assistance is awarded to deserving students pursuing a college education, through our Florence K. Norman Scholarship Fund.
