| Some of Our Lovely Founding Mothers |
|
Chi Upsilon Sigma has been in existence since April
29, 1980, incepted on the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers- The State University of New Jersey. The Sorority was officially
added to the Rutgers University Greek Community on March 11, 1981. Our Founders are seven Latinas who had the desire to form
an organization to promote leadership in the community and Sisterhood- to create a place away from home in which members could
feel the strong sense of family which is such a force in the Latino culture.
We are a Sisterhood of all ethnicities
and cultures. Our common calling is a respect for one another and the ideals of our Founding Mothers, rooted in individuality,
loyalty, pride, Womanhood, and appreciation of our cultures and all its aspects.
We pride ourselves in our mission
to educate not only ourselves, but the community as well. One of our organizational goals is the promotion of political, educational,
cultural and social awareness. Another is a dedication to servicing the community and those in need. We accomplish these goals
through programming, philanthropies and hands-on community service.
