 Why
Iota Gamma Upsilon ?
IGU is a local sorority founded by Lynne Knubbe Montross,
Cheron Laboissoniere Chang, Virginia Mallison Stibolt, Susan Morash Powers
and Judy Reiker Pardon on May 29, 1962. More
history... The chapter was founded on ideals
such as friendship and individuality. Our colors are ultramarine and
green, our flower is the daffodil and our mascot is the lion. We
support various philanthropies.
Our
sisterhood is a strong and growing family. As a local sorority we have the
ability to govern ourselves and make important house decisions on our own
or with alumnae assistance. We are active in the community and by doing philanthropic work, our sisters participate in a variety of
on-campus activities during the semester. Some of the other fun
things that we do are date parties and formals, and movie nights. Friendships gained at Iota Gamma Upsilon
last longer than your years at UMass: they last a lifetime.
 The
chapter consists of dynamic, diverse women both from Massachusetts and
out-of-state. We enjoy being able to live in a spacious house
close to campus on North Pleasant Street. Check out What's New to
see some of the things going on right now!
If you are interested in visiting our unique sorority and meeting
the sisters, please call the Greek Affairs office at (413) 545-2711 and
ask for a current recruitment chairperson or contact for Iota Gamma Upsilon
Sorority.
It's a great time to be Greek at UMASS! The University's new Vice
Chancellor for Student Affairs and Campus Life, Dr. Michael Gargano, is
inspiring and supporting strong growth for Fraternities and Sororities,
setting the goal to raise Greek participation from the present 3% to at
least 20% of the student population. We have all been challenged to
redefine what it means to be Greek. We are proud that IGU is a big part of
these plans—the house is strong and continues to grow. We are one of the top 3 sororities for academic average.
