Founded in 1968 by Hispanos who joined together to promote service to Texas
Tech and the Lubbock Community, the Hispanic Student Society is the university's
oldest Hispanic organization. Originally called Los Tortolianos, or "members of
a club," the organization used to participate in different types of demonstrations
and sit-ins, particularly in those where issues of racial discrimination and
segregation were concerned.
In 1980, the organization changed its name to the United Mexican American Students
(UMAS), which sought to promote friendship and leadership, and participated in many
large Mexican dances and Mexican celebrations. A third name change occurred in the fall
of 1984, when the organization became the Hispanic Student Society to reflect the change
from its radical predecessors to its current conservative presence.
