Mission
We, the members of, Chi Upsilon Sigma National
Latin Sorority, Incorporated, aware of the
prejudices and obstacles facing the minority
women of our communities, dedicate ourselves to
improving these conditions and to working towards
the betterment of all women. We have unified
ourselves through the sisterhood of Corazones
Unidos Siempre and by our Founders’ ideals of
open communication and community service, as
well as the development of political, educational,
cultural and social awareness. We devote
ourselves to this challenge, to be achieved
through hard work, patience and the collective
effort to educate, as is exemplified in our motto,
‘Wisdom through Education”

Why C.U.S.?
C.U.S. stands firm in our belief that sisterhood is what brought us together. Our love
for C.U.S. makes us act in interesting ways, moving mountains and building bridges
solely in the name of C.U.S. We have been asked many times about what it is that
makes us different. We always have the same response: "When a CUSSIE walks in
the room, you know that she is there. She is not afraid to voice her opinion, not afraid
to be different, not afraid to "OD" (or over do what she must to get the job done)."
A CUSSIE always goes above and beyond and will never settle for mediocrity.
A CUSSIE loves with all that she is and it is this love that drives all of her actions.
A CUSSIE NEVER backs down at the face of opposition.
We are different beCUS you think of us in a different light beCUS we are not afraid to
be ourselves. This makes us different.
