FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 28, 2022 – Lambda Theta Alpha joined thousands of organizations nationwide in the mass celebration of National Voter Registration Day on September 20, 2022, in an effort to register voters ahead of the critical state, local, and midterm elections in 2022. Every election season, thousands of Americans forfeit their right to vote due to a missed deadline or lack of information on how to register to vote. As such, Lambda Theta Alpha carried out its commitment to ensuring that our communities register to vote and make their voice heard.
Local elections directly impact our neighborhoods and have historically drawn a smaller number of voters. In an effort to increase participation, the sorority’s National Political Education Initiative Committee provided resources to numerous chapters across the country to organize local events.
Since 2012, nearly 4.7 million people have either registered to vote or updated their voter information as part of the initiative held every year on the fourth Tuesday in September. In 2020 alone, 1.5 million registered through a National Voter Registration Day event.
This year, we are proud to share that at least twenty-one of our chapters participated in National Voter Registration Day. They connected with their local communities and campuses to register people to vote in person and virtually, and highlight the importance of making your voice heard in our elections.
Participating chapters included:
| Epsilon Chapter Rutgers University – New Brunswick | Zeta Chapter Stockton University | Beta Delta Chapter California State University, Long Beach |
| Beta Omicron Chapter University of Michigan | Beta Omega Chapter Wayne State University | Gamma Epsilon Chapter Florida State University |
| Delta Beta Chapter Georgia State University | Delta Upsilon Chapter Lehigh University | Epsilon Gamma Chapter University of Illinois at Chicago |
| Epsilon Kappa Chapter University of Arizona | Epsilon Pi Chapter Michigan State University | Zeta Lambda Chapter Western Michigan University |
| Zeta Sigma Chapter Washington State University | Zeta Upsilon Chapter Northern Illinois University | Zeta Phi Chapter Denison University |
| Eta Eta Chapter George Washington University | Alpha Eta Alumnae Chapter Los Angeles, CA | Alpha Rho Alumnae Chapter Raleigh, NC |
| Alpha Sigma Alumnae Chapter Atlanta, GA | Alpha Phi Alumnae Chapter Dallas, Texas | Alpha Alpha Beta Alumnae Chapter San Diego, CA |
Aligned with its mission to promote political activism, Lambda Theta Alpha is proud to continue its partnership with National Voter Registration Day. September 20, 2022 marks 10 years of democracy that’s helped over 4.7 million Americans register to vote. The National Political Education Initiative Committee would like to thank all of the chapters and members who participated in this year’s National Voter Registration Day.
