Chi Upsilon Sigma

History

Chi Upsilon Sigma was founded on April 29, 1980 by seven Latinas at the New Brunswick Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The seven founding mothers are:

Maricel Rivera

Sonia Rosa

Catherine Miranda

Mariela Freay

Nancy Collazo

Maria E. Tejera

Evelyn Burgos

Due to the shifts in the cultural and political arenas, the late 1970s/early 1980s was a thriving time for the Latino community in the Northeastern United States. Activism on college campuses was common ground. Corazones Unidos Siempre/Chi Upsilon Sigma Sorority, Inc. was formed to challenge inequality, poor funding, and inferior quality of life for Latino students. Corazones Unidos Siempre was formed with three goals, to provide service, to encourage communication, and develop awareness amongst the community.

Philanthropy

Chi Upsilon Sigma’s national philanthropy is the I Have A Dream Foundation.
