They wanted to create an organization which would focus on motivating women to excel academically in their chosen field of study, to become socially confident as an individual, and to further mold our community into a comfortable, safe environment.

Lambda Sigma Upsilon

We, the brothers of Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity, Inc., strongly believe that many individual and collective successes can be achieved through the efforts of a culturally diverse brotherhood of college and university men who, through close association with each other, maintain honesty, commitment, respect, and trust.

Lambda Sigma Upsilon was founded on April 5, 1979 in Rutgers New Brunswick in New Jersey by 20 men of Latino decent. Upon recognizing one another at various rallies and protests around their community, they decided to meet to discuss different issues surrounding the university and outside community. They came to the realization that the minority population was an under represented group and formed Latinos Siempre Unidos to act as an organized voice and a unified force... The Kyodrowe Chapter was established at the University at Buffalo in November of 2002. This chapter was founded by 8 men in search of creating an organized voice with goals and substance unparalleled to any other organization on campus. In the Spring of 2004, eight new men crossed into this Brotherhood, furthering the success of the chapter. Fall of 2005 welcomed the newest member of our chapter. Sharing the vision of the previous 16 Brothers that came before him at this chapter, he went through intake and crossed into the Brotherhood.
