Tagged: Nicaragua, student, VirginiaPosted on: September 16th, 2007“When Yanil Escobar was a freshman, he said people on Radford University’s campus would call him “wetback” and other racial slurs. Now, as a junior, he’s working to help students embrace Hispanic culture.
The Virginia native, whose roots trace to Nicaragua, is spearheading an effort to get the first Hispanic fraternity, Lambda Upsilon Lambda, chartered at Radford.
He said he believes that Hispanic students on campus “can do more if they have more groups.”"
