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 7 Latinas who had the desire to create an organization to promote leadership among the Latino community. More importantly, it was their desire to create a sisterhood – a place away from home in which the members could feel the strong sense of family, which is such a force in the Latino culture.

Over the years, we have grown to include women of a variety of ethnicities and cultures. Our common calling is a respect for one another and the ideals of our Founding Mothers, rooted in womanhood, individuality, solidarity, dedication, openheartedness and maturity, as well as an appreciation for the Latino culture and all its aspects. We have become limited only by the desire and determination of our sisters.

The women of Chi Upsilon Sigma consider our sisterhood to be a lifelong commitment, not only to the organization, but also to each other. Ours is a flame that burns eternal and a bond that joins us to one another forever.
