La Union Estudiantil de la Raza (UER)

La Unión Estudiantil de la Raza, Inc. was founded on October 6, 1992 at the University of California, Riverside by ten individuals. They had an idea that there needed to be a place where one could feel comfortable and respected without any animosity for what one thought, felt, or believed. The members analyzed the purpose and decided to create an organization that would create leaders by focusing on incorporation of ethnicity with indigenous cultures. It was decided on this day that the members would work together to incorporate in the university a Chicano-Latino/Indigenous organization that was different from the Greek system.

La Union Estudiantil de la Raza, Inc. has a distinctly different agenda that differs from the existing fraternal order. Our pledge ship is a non-hazing learning process of integration where incoming members can comfortably enter our Brotherhood. Our social atmosphere consists of recreational activities as well as scholastic and moral support. Our social activities involve unification gatherings of Chicano/Latino students, cultural trips, retreats, fundraisers, and intramural sports with other organizations on campus.
