The 25th Annual Semana de la Xicana
Pi Lambda Chi, Sigma Lambda Gamma, Lambda Theta Nu, and UMAS y MEChA would like to invite to the 25th Annual Semana de la Xicana
A little background....
In 1989, a group of womyn within M.E.Ch.A. started Semana de la Xicana. They recognized the need to address issues of la mujer in the Chicana/o community. It is now an annual event dedicated to celeberating Chicana identity and herstory.
Que Viva La Mujer!
Xicana Tiahui!
(Tiahui: Nahuatl for "always moving forward")
