Our Brotherhood
We are the Alpha Chapter of Sigma Omega Upsilon International Business Fraternity.
We are a co-ed professional business fraternity open to all majors designed to develop members professionally, socially, and culturally.
Our History
Founded in 2012 at the University of South Carolina by twelve innovative students, we have pioneered an organization that speaks to the needs of students that want to go above and beyond in their careers. Sigma Omega Upsilon pushes brothers to realize that the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” and strives to create a network on a global scale in which to interact and achieve.
Since our founding, we have grown to have around 70 active brothers each year as a part of our brotherhood. As the Alpha chapter we continue to expand at the University of South Carolina and have initiated brothers from not just the Darla Moore School of Business, but also from many other Colleges across campus, such as the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, to name a few.
Beyond the University of South Carolina, Sigma Omega Upsilon has another chapter at Virginia Tech. Sigma Omega Upsilon is currently striving to spread their outreach to other universities -- to enable students to develop themselves professionally, culturally, and socially in respective manners.
“Our mission is to promote personal development within professional, social, cultural, and philanthropic scopes. As an organization, we promote inclusivity by challenging our members to be open-minded and culturally aware. Through immersion in these initiatives, we prepare our members to become dynamic leaders who will change the world for the better..”
“We envision a community that unites students through a shared appreciation for intercultural learning and professional development. Establishing a diverse and inclusive environment through recognizing differences enables each member to grow from the exchange of ideas and values. It is our belief that the whole will be greater than the sum of its parts.”
