Welcome to the official website of the Alpha Chapter of Sigma Omega Upsilon! We are a international business fraternity co-ed and open to all majors that focuses on global leadership by balancing the exceptional education offered by the University of South Carolina with further development in professionalism, social conduct, and cultural skills.
If you were to ask me what was the one thing I regretted in my college experience, it would be that I waited until second semester of freshman year to join Sigma Omega Upsilon. The minute I walked into the door of my first night of recruitment, I knew this organization was going to change my entire college experience. Every single brother I spoke to had their own unique experience in SOU, but one aspect was always similar. Each brother mentioned how this organization had given them the confidence and support they needed to be successful, as well as a brotherhood.
Sigma Omega Upsilon pushes students to step outside of their comfort zones and expand their horizons. Through the personal development program, our new members are expected to grow themselves in all three of our pillars to prepare them for the rest of their college careers, as well as their future. Semester after semester, it has been incredible to see how much each new class of members grows from this process, and it really reflects in their academic, professional, and experiential pursuits.
Sigma Omega Upsilon has grown so much in the 3 years that I have been a part of this organization, and the future is looking bright. With increased communications with our Virginia Tech chapter, as well as the creation of the expansion committee, I am looking forward to seeing this organization blossom.
I am excited and honored to serve as the fraternity's CEO for my last semester here, and I look forward to maintaining and pursuing our goals and ideas. As an organization consisting of a large portion of underclassmen, they will have an important role in the future success of this organization. This large group of underclassmen have been the most impressive and experienced that I have ever seen, and I do not have a doubt in mind that they will not only bring success to this organization, but they will make it into something that everyone strives to be a part of
