In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc., founded in 1975, and specifically its Alpha Sigma Alumnae Chapter in Atlanta, for organizing Mujeres Day at the Capitol, an annual civic engagement and advocacy training event held since 2019. The resolution recounts the sorority's history, its eight chapters across Georgia colleges and universities, and the chapter's 2025 national recognition as Political Chapter of the Year. It formally resolves that the House recognizes the Mujeres Day event on March 18, 2026, and directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of the resolution to the sorority.
