Welcome to the Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Lambda Upsilon/ Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. Our sisterhood was founded in 1987 at Binghamton University by four women who shared the vision of an organization that would create a bridge between all women committed to the political and social advancement of underrepresented populations. Advancement comes only through education. Therefore, as an organization, we strive to educate our campus and surrounding communities on issues that are important to our respective communties. We do this through programs, workshops, conferences and community service. The Upsilon Chapter was founded in the spring of 2000 by four women who were inspired both by the sisterhood expressed through the Hermanas as well as their commitment to the community. While looking into this organization and many others, they noticed that although some chapters were few in number, they achieved a great deal and made a huge impact on their campuses. This determination and dedication, along with the tight bond that existed between Hermanas, lead women at the University of Maryland, College Park, to persue membership into Sigma Lambda Upsilon/ Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, Inc. Those women were: Miriam Cabezas, Claudia Ramirez, Laurie Price and Joanne Rodriguez. Since the founding of Upsilon Chapter, these four women have also acheived a great deal in terms of educating and providing service for the community. See the Calendar. Just as importantly, the women of Upsilon Chapter have formed a very tight bond, unexpressable in words or through a website, but lived everyday. Our sisterhood is open to all women who share the desire to uplift the community and who are also willing to open their hearts to genuine sisterhood.
