LSU

On April 5th, 1979, Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Social Fellowship, Inc. was established. The motto of the fellowship was “Latinos Siempre Unidos” (Latinos Always United), thus the acronym “LSU”. In the Fall of 1987 the brothers finally agreed to change the designation to fraternity, thus the name Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity, Inc. was adopted. Mission: 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. The maintenance of these qualities is nurtured in large part through the diversity of culture and through selfawareness and self-respect. Among the results of actions taken in these states of being are the promotion of friendship and Brotherhood, the development of individual character, the advancement of justice and opportunity, and the acquisition of soundness and excellence in education.
