The '''National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations''' ('''NALFO''') is an umbrella council for 16 [[Hispanic and Latino Americans|Latino]] [[Fraternities and sororities|Greek Letter Organizations (GLOs)]] established in 1998. The purpose of NALFO is to promote and foster positive interfraternal relations, communication, and development of all Latino fraternal organizations through mutual respect, leadership, honesty, professionalism and education.
Established in 1998, the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations set out to become the uniting force for Latino-based fraternities and sororities. Latino organizations had developed in different parts of the United States in their early years, and this created difficulties for the organizations to find information on their peer groups to come together.


NALFO primarily consisted of fraternities and sororities that originated in the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]] and on the [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] of the United States. A second umbrella organization, the ConcÌlio Nacional de Hermandades Latinas was founded by [[Phi Iota Alpha]] and [[Omega Phi Beta]] and primarily consisted of Hispanic and Latina-based fraternities and sororities on the [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]].<ref>{{cite journal | url=https://www.academia.edu/999865 | title=Nuestra Historia y Futuro (Our History and Future): Latino/A Fraternities and Sororities | journal=Brothers and Sisters: Diversity In... | date=January 2009 | last1=Muñoz | first1=Susana }}</ref>

Established in 1998, the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, set out to become the uniting force for Latin-based fraternities and sororities. Latino organizations had developed in different parts of the United States in their early years, and this created difficulties for the organizations to find information on their peer groups in an effort to come together. As a result, two different umbrella organizations evolved, the ConcÌlio Nacional de Hermandades Latinas (founded by [[Phi Iota Alpha]] and [[Omega Phi Beta]]),<ref>{{cite journal | url=https://www.academia.edu/999865 | title=Nuestra Historia y Futuro (Our History and Future): Latino/A Fraternities and Sororities | journal=Brothers and Sisters: Diversity in … | date=January 2009 | last1=Muñoz | first1=Susana }}</ref> which primarily consisted of fraternities and sororities on the east coast, and NALFO which primarily consisted of fraternities and sororities that originated on the midwest/west coast. In the winter of 2001 the two groups merged under the NALFO name and made history in developing one umbrella organization for all Latin-based fraternities and sororities.

The National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO) is an umbrella council for seventeen American Latino fraternties and sororities. It was established in 1998. The purpose of NALFO is to promote and foster positive interfraternal relations, communication, and development of all Latino fraternal organizations through mutual respect, leadership, honesty, professionalism, and education.

History

Established in 1998, the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations set out to become the uniting force for Latino-based fraternities and sororities. Latino organizations had developed in different parts of the United States in their early years, and this created difficulties for the organizations to find information on their peer groups to come together.

NALFO primarily consisted of fraternities and sororities that originated in the Midwest and on the West Coast of the United States. A second umbrella organization, the ConcÌlio Nacional de Hermandades Latinas was founded by Phi Iota Alpha and Omega Phi Beta and primarily consisted of Hispanic and Latina-based fraternities and sororities on the East Coast.[1]

In the winter of 2001, the NALFO and ConcÌlio Nacional de Hermandades Latinas merged under the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations name, establishing one umbrella organization for all Latino-based fraternities and sororities in the United States.
