Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority Incorporated Information

The First Multicultural Sorority in the Nation In 1981, our founding mothers saw the need for a sorority that crossed the societal boundaries of race, religion, culture, and class. While other Greek organizations are and continue to grow more diverse, our organization foundation is based on diversity and our sisters embrace multicultural ideals and interests; we speak to use our sorority as a vehicle to educate the surrounding campus and community on issues of diversity. We recognize that diversity is not limited to race, and we are proud to say we have achieved a sisterhood which is quite diverse with respect to not only race, but religious heritage, geographic origin, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, nationality, political ideology, and even choice of major and career. Ultimately, multiculturalism is the belief that there is inherent value in discovering, understanding, and appreciating all the ways in which people are different from each other. It is for this reason that we differentiate ourselves, in name and in purpose, from Greek organizations with the word “MUlticultural”. Our Goals Academic Excellence It is our firm belief that knowledge gained through higher education will bring success in our future endeavors. Unity Amongst All Women There is strength in numbers, and MSU believes that women are the backbone of society. Through unity comes the strength and power to overcome any obstacles we must face. University and Community Service Our organization takes pride in actively participating in the community. Some of our programs include tutoring, study sessions and educational workshops (ex., self-defense, career advice, women’s and race issues and many more).
