"Through Innovative Thought Come Progressive Ideas."
In the fall of 1989, three undergraduate women and one graduate woman came together to
discuss the issues surrounding the Latin community. It was at this meeting that these
four women decided that the Latino community was at a loss by not having a sorority that
was based on Latin concerns. Consequently, in 1990, Gamma Ce Upsilon was incorporated.
Gamma Ce Upsilon Sorority is not exclusively Latin. They believe that the sorority will
prosper with a growing membership of women who identify with, and who are dedicated to
their struggle.
The sorority flower is the Red Rose and the insignia is the swan.

Gamma Ce Upsilon has participated in various community service projects, such as Youth
Empowerment Day, Alcohol and Drug Awareness Week, project Outreach, S.E.F.A Campaign, and
Special Olympics. They are sponsored by the National Association of Puerto Rican and Hispanic
Social workers.

The purposes for which Gamma Ce Upsilon Sorority, Incorporated was formed are:
- to provide a Latin woman's struggle, sisterhood, and pride through educational means, to
excel in all areas, and
- to function as a base for Latin women in higher education,
to express themselves culturally and socially while receiving support and understanding
from other women with similar experiences, and
- to provide community service in the form of volunteering, organizing and assisting
various groups for causes to enhance the community and its people socially, politically,
economically, and culturally.
