About Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Inc.

The founders were five women of vision, determined to establish an organization that brought together all women.  It was their limitless vision that enabled these determined women to break down the barriers and build the bridges that connected women from all different parts of the world.  Hence, our motto "Mujeres Siempre Unidas," or "Women Always United."

Diversity is what Mu Sigma Upsilon was created to promote, through our goal "Unity Amongst All Women," and it is through this that we have flourished and became the distinguished organization that we are today.

 

Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Inc. prides itself on three goals. They are:
1. Academic Excellence
2. Unity Amongst All Women
3. To Be Active in the University & Community

​

Our colors are baby blue and white.

Our mascot is the Amazon woman.  The Amazons are known to be an ancient legendary nation of female warriors.  In early modern usage, the word was often used to refer to strong and independent women, in contrast to conventional stereotypes of women being weak and passive.



Since 1981, Mu Sigma Upsilon has taken pride in the art of stepping.  Stepping is a complex performance involving synchronized percussive movement, singing, speaking, chanting, and drama.  Step shows have become a primary venue for expressing identity.  We have a national Step Team comprised of sisters from all different chapters and cultural backgrounds.
