Interested in LSU?

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our organization. Now let our Brothers get to learn more about you.

Before going any further, we encourage you to take the time to research as many other fraternal organizations available as you can. Speak to your university's Greek Advisor to let him or her know that you are interested in Greek Life and opportunities available on campus.

If you think Lambda Sigma Upsilon might be for you, follow these steps:

 

  1. Reach out to a brother expressing your interest.

  2. Attend an informational meeting, historically known as a "Rum and Salsa".

  3. Get to know the chapter brothers

 
WHAT EXACTLY IS A "RUM AND SALSA?"

A "Rum and Salsa" is an informational meeting hosted by brothers of Lambda Sigma Upsilon and open to any member of the community to attend. It is the perfect opportunity to be introduced to brothers of the Fraternity, learn about our history, mission, and goals, and have your questions answered in person.

Despite the colloquial name, alcohol is NEVER served at any "Rum and Salsa" meetings. Rather, it's a form of homage we pay to our founding fathers, who used to meet and bond together over rum and salsa dancing after a long day of community activism and service.
