About Us
The Lambda Upsilon Sigma Alumnae (Plano, TX) Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was established in 2013 to serve Collin County located in the suburban communities north of Dallas. Since its chartering, Lambda Upsilon Sigma has worked tirelessly to impact its service area through implementation of the Sorority's national programs and spearheading local initiatives to address additional issues that specifically impact Collin & Denton counties. The Chapter has contributed more than 10,000 hours of service, awarded nearly $40,000 in scholarships, and bestowed more than $44,000 in monetary and in-kind donations to local charities since the chapter's inception.
Lambda Upsilon Sigma has been recognized at a local, regional, and national level for its efforts in exemplifying the Sorority's slogan, "Greater Service, Greater Progress", garnering awards and recognition internally and externally.
