Although The Glamorous Gamma Nu Chapter, “The Chosen Few” was founded at Emory University in April 2003, its roots go back many years to its beginnings at Georgia Tech University.

In spring 2001, Amanda Pardo of Georgia Tech was introduced to Lambda Theta Alpha, Latin Sorority, Incorporated and took over the formation of an interest group. During this time, she worked with many girls who came and went; all contributing large parts to the formal establishment of an interest group on campus. At one point, the interest group began collaborating with girls from Spelman College, working hard toward a common purpose - to bring Lambda Theta Alpha to their campuses and solidify friendships through sisterhood. Although the time and feeling was right for the two groups, the sorority was not ready to accept them at the time.

The interest group at Georgia Tech continued to forge on, participating in activities in the Panhellenic Council, excelling academically on campus, and participating in other cultural and professional organizations. Everyone on campus was waiting for the day that the Interested Ladies of Lambda Theta Alpha would become official. In fall of 2002, an information session was given by the National Director of Orientation and several sisters from Tennessee and Florida . This was the first time the Interest Groups from Georgia Tech and Emory University met.

The Interested Ladies at Emory began in the fall of 2002. Two friends from high school reminisced about their former traditions and sisterhood that they left behind. After attending Emory for at least two years, they decided to seek an organization that would represent their ideals and specifically cater to the Latino community. Jacinta Alves and Jacqueline Jacques chose Lambda Theta Alpha to fill the void they felt on campus. They sought interests among their friends and held the first meeting with Alexandra Jean-Jacques, Renelyn Monteloyola, and Erika Tequia. Each one spread the news about bringing the first Latin sorority in the country to Emory University. After several interest meetings, Melissa Gutierrez and Paulette Waltz joined the growing interest group. Claudia Gonzalez, Anita Husen, and Angela Perez heard of the women who were now known as the Interested Ladies of Lambda Theta Alpha at Emory. They too wanted to set the tone for a unique organization that embraced diversity.

For the interest group’s first event, they participated in a community service event called Dining Out for Life where proceeds of their meal were donated from the restaurant where they dined. In November 2002, the Interested Ladies attended their first social held at Georgia Tech. At the end of the fall semester, the interest group at Emory University completed its first fundraiser. They spent the first part of the spring semester participating in community service events for the Ronald McDonald House, Dunbar Elementary School ’s Discovery Program, and Trees Atlanta’s Arbor Day. Melisa Vannachaivong heard of the exciting interest group at Emory University and joined the ladies for their Valentine’s Day fundraiser.

On April 19, 2003, the twelve Interested Ladies were recognized as the Founding Line of the Glamorous Gamma Nu Chapter - "The Chosen Few" of Lambda Theta Alpha, Latin Sorority, Incorporated at Emory University. The Founding Sisters were Angela Perez, Melissa Gutierrez, Renelyn Monteloyola, Jacinta Alves, Paulette Waltz, Erika Tequia, Melisa Vannachaivong, Alexandra Jean-Jacques, Anita Husen, Jacqueline Jacques, Claudia Gonzalez and Amanda Pardo. Gamma Nu Chapter was the first Latina Sorority not only at Emory University but also in the state of Georgia .

On October 6 of that year the sisters were officially recognized by the school’s Intersorority Council and were now able to fully participate in events at Emory. During Gamma Nu Chapter's first year on campus the chapter established itself as a respectable organization through quality programming and events, including participation in AIDS Walk Atlanta, establishing the monthly Universal Woman Film Series, and having a successful Founder's Week in April 2004.

On October 9, 2004 Gamma Nu Chapter grew with the crossing of its first line, "Heart & Sole." One individual, Elena Gutierrez faced all the challenges presented to her on her own, and successfully joined Lambda Theta Alpha's Sisterhood.

Gamma Nu's second year at Emory brought about many successful events. In Fall 2004, the chapter hosted journalist, Gabriela Frias, from CNN en Español, continued to particpate in the Discovery Elementary program at Whitefoord Elementary, and co-hosted an Interracial Dating Forum with Alpha Phi Alpha. In the Spring, Gamma Nu brought the acclaimed play, "Plátanos and Collard Greens," started up its own Girl Scout Troup, and held an Informational Fair for Latinos in the Atlanta area.

The past two years of hard work have not gone unrecognized. By the end of the 2005 school year, Gamma Nu chapter had received many awards.
