Founding

In the Fall of 1994, five young women decided to establish a new Latinx support group at UC Berkeley. This organization was created in order to give the Latinx community on campus an opportunity to find a home away from home, while providing academic and community resources and a family networking system through a basis of three pillars: academics, community service & collegiate and social networking. Inspired by a family connection to HaU, Hermanas Unidas de Long Beach was established in 2003 with six founding members. They developed a strong reputation at CSULB with staying true to there own morals and with those efforts they have reached hundreds to become Hermanas themselves!

Our Purpose

Hermanas Unidas (HaU) aims to provide a family network for students through participation in academic, community, and social events. A place where women can come together and be themselves, HaU is an Hermandad attempting to provide a healthy transition to and from CSULB. HaU hopes to reach out to the CSULB community and provide resources as well as a family networking system through the avenues provided by the three pillars of Hermanas Unidas: academics, community service, and socials/collegiate networking.

OUR SYMBOL: EL QUINTO SOL was chosen by the founding mothers because it represents "change"; their common vision of the pursuit of higher education by women was fueled by their desire to enlighten their lives, families, communities, and their minds in order forge a better future for themselves. We enter a phase of commitment, awakening, and of awareness towards each other and the society we live in. This is the "change" that El Quinto Sol symbolizes for us. The blossom tells the story of the Hermana, a story of a young woman, her face in profile, depicted by the leaf and stem of the logo. El Quinto Sol remains the focal point of our logo so that we may never forget where we came from and that we may keep clear of where we are going- together in Hermandad.  

OUR MOTTO: "PODER DE LA MUJER" is representative of our strength as women and our will to succeed in the face of triumphs and adversities.
