IGU CrestWhy 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.

Sisters are friends for 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!IGU's engaged in activies

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.  Please visit all the IGU links to learn about house information, new sisters and pledges, house officers, photographs and more.
