What is
Chi Upsilon Sigma?
Para los espanoles que vivieron
Y los indios que ya estaban...
Para los africanos que trajeron
Y los que no dudaban...

De su sangre venimos
Y lideres seremos...
Por su memoria vivimos...
COMO MUJERES SEGUIREMOS!

For the Spaniards that came
And the Indians already there...
For the Africans they brought
And those who did not care...

From their blood we came
And leaders we shall be...
In their memory we live...
AS WOMEN, ETERNALLY!
History
       Chi Upsilon Sigma has been in existence since April 29, 1980, incepted on the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers University. 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 a 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 individuality, loyalty, pride and womanhood, and an appreciation of the Latino culture and all its aspects.
        We strive to not only educate ourselves but our communitties as well.  Our goal is to promote political, educational, cultural, and social awareness in school and out.  We further take action to service the community through programming, workshops, philanthropies, fund- raising, and hands-on community service.
