Welcome to ChiUpsilonSigma.org!  This website is designed to help you learn more about our wonderful sorority, provide information on our leadership programs, and be a general resource to our members and visitors.

Corazones Unidos Siempre, Chi Upsilon Sigma National Latin Sorority, Inc. (C.U.S.) is an organization founded on the principles of integrity, respect, and accountability. Today, we have created a solid foundation and a structure for ourselves that will ensure our longevity amongst Greek organizations.  Not only have we increased our membership intake, but we also continue to increase the active level amongst our undergraduates and alumnae through new programs, training, and mentoring.

The sisterhood is unique in its capabilities to draw in new members who embrace our appreciation for family, individuality and collaboration with each other. Our members take their dedication to new levels by creating bonds with members across chapters and regions. Our sisters are women who not only exemplify and embody the essence of our organization, but also educate themselves and others about societal current events that enlighten their understanding of the world and their communities.  They recognize this lifelong membership as a highly-rewarding experience, in which they impart knowledge and wisdom throughout their encounters with one another.

C.U.S. has been in existence as a diverse organization for over 30 years.  Today, we are present in over 12 states expanding over 40 schools. We continuously recruit women who are leaders in their communities and increase our communication with other organizations on their campus' with the goal of servicing the community, and creating educational, cultural, political, and social programming with them.  We provide the platform for our undergraduates and alumnae to excel in their own rights as individuals, hence the phrase  "Women So Strong, We Need No Brothers."  Yet, at the same time, we embark upon opportunities to build relationships with other organizations.

We urge you to conduct your research and understand the benefits of being Greek. We trust that you will notice how and why C.U.S. is different. 

You are invited to seize the opportunity to be a part of this eternal sisterhood. We encourage you to take that step to get to know Corazones Unidos Siempre, Chi Upsilon Sigma National Latin Sorority, Inc., and learn about the many riches we have to offer.


Sincerely,

Merie Daniel

Grand Chapter Board President

THE MEANING OF C.U.S.

Written By: Lea V. Del Rosario ~ 'Pegasus', A/N SP '92

An affirmation of a belief in the lifelong commitment of our Sorority. May we All keep the light of CUS burning forever within our hearts ...

CORAZONES UNIDOS SIEMPRE

Corazones ... Hearts ... the driving force behind the blood of our ancestors that flows through our veins and motivates us to succeed. The basis of our souls that allows us to celebrate and rejoice, cry and hurt, and most importantly, love.

Unidos ... United ... a common calling by our Founders and predecessors to the solidarity of womanhood and the bond that is family. An indescribable link from Sister to Sister forged by a shared love and mutual respect for the ideals and goals of our Hermandad.

Siempre ... Always ... a lifetime and beyond of walking along side one another - as Sisters, as Friends, as Mentors, and as Students. An eternity of trust, loyalty, faith, and hope for the success of our organization and for all Women of color to recognize their true potentials in life.
