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. 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.
The Grand Chapter Board (GCB) is the national governing entity that oversees all administrative
aspects of the sorority, and is the foremost regulating authority of the organization. The GCB is
comprised of alumnae who serve as executive members.The GCB is also responsible for coordinating
and implementing all national events
