Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, is annually honored and celebrated on June 19th, marking the day in 1865 when freedom came by executive decree to over 250,000 enslaved Black people in Galveston Bay, Texas. This occurred two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in Confederate states during the Civil War in 1863, and a few months after the U.S. House of Representatives finally passed the Thirteenth Amendment in January 1865. This amendment stated that “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude” were to exist in the United States. Juneteenth’s historical legacy marks true independence for all people in our country.

Today, we recognize Juneteenth as an opportunity to celebrate Black culture, cultivate community, and advocate for socio-political issues facing us in our national climate. The members of Chi Upsilon Sigma encourage you to educate yourself on the historical context of Juneteenth, amplify Black voices across spaces and industries, and support Black-owned businesses.

“Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won - you earn it and win it in every generation.” - Coretta Scott King

Chi Upsilon Sigma is honoring all the incredible dads today and wants to express gratitude for their dedication, guidance, and the unconditional love they provide. Whether you’re a father by birth, choice, or love, your strength and kindness make the world a better place. We celebrate these unique contributions and recognize the challenges fathers overcome, including the pressure to provide and the often-overlooked struggles with mental health. Silent suffering for men is unfortunately a societal norm, so seeking mental health resources is vital for more fathers to be present and committed. Fatherhood encompasses a diverse range of experiences and stages and today we come together to provide unwavering support.

Globally, June honors LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and is celebrated annually to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, which “fundamentally changed the nature of LGBTQ+ activism in the United States.” (Source: Library of Congress)

Often simply referred to as Pride Month, this time serves to acknowledge and commemorate those who have dedicated their lives to, and continue to fight for, basic human rights. Over the years, Pride has evolved from its iconic beginnings in New York to growing celebrations with millions of attendees in São Paulo.

Chi Upsilon Sigma stands as allies to the LGBTQIA+ community, celebrating and recognizing that while this month represents years of progress, there is still much work left to be done to ensure every member of this community feels safe, accepted, and heard. There is power in collective action, so this month, we encourage you to get involved by making donations to organizations advocating for this community, volunteering at or attending a local Pride celebration, and supporting LGBTQIA+ businesses.

National Caribbean-American Heritage Month (NCAHM) promotes the rich culture and contributions of Caribbean Americans. The month-long observance was established in the early 2000s, largely due to the efforts of Congresswoman Barbara Lee, a prominent advocate for diversity and the recognition of minority contributions in the United States. These Caribbean countries connect the southernmost part of the U.S. to the northernmost part of South America, ranging from the Bahamas down to Trinidad and Tobago. Having heavily influenced cities like Miami and New York, Caribbean people have enriched American society for centuries, persevering through the challenges and hardships. (Source: doi.gov)

Generations of Caribbean Americans have molded history, culture, food, dance, music, and sports. To celebrate their heritage, events like Carnival have become integral in maintaining and showcasing their roots. Ninety percent of Caribbean folk in America come from five countries: Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago, although there are so many rich cultures that weave into what NCAHM is. Notable Caribbean Americans include Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury; Colin Powell, former Secretary of State; W.E.B. Du Bois, a civil rights activist; Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa; and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Although there is much more work to be done to support and recognize the Caribbean identity, let this month be a time to reflect on the Caribbean-American heritage that has united and enriched life across the U.S. The members of Chi Upsilon Sigma, in celebration of the rich cultures that have woven into our organization, invite you to reflect on the Caribbean-American heritage that has significantly shaped our nation.

On April 27th, the sisters of the Beta Delta Chapter of Corazones Unidos Siempre Chi Upsilon Sigma National Latin Sorority, Inc. and the brothers of the Beta Chi Chapter of Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity, Inc. came together for our annual watershed cleanup. An honored tradition that reflects our commitment to service, community enrichment, and preserving a prosperous future for all. 💪🌍

Watersheds in Fairfax, VA do more than just catch rain, they protect our drinking water, reduce flooding, and keep local spots like Accotink Creek and the Potomac River healthy. 💧🌿

What began 45 years ago—in 1980 on the Rutgers University–New Brunswick campus—as a bold vision has blossomed into a thriving national network of empowered women committed to lasting impact.

Over the decades, we’ve expanded our reach, established chapters across the nation, welcomed new voices, nurtured leadership, and adapted to technological and societal shifts with resilience and purpose. We’re only halfway through this decade, and already we’ve seen incredible growth. The road to 50 is brighter than ever! 🌟

As we honor the legacy of those who came before us, we remain grounded in our mission: to educate, elevate, and empower—not only those around us, but also ourselves. Here’s to continuing the work, learning and rising alongside our communities, and shaping the future together.

Here’s to 45 years of growth—and to the new possibilities, empowerment, and community we’re creating for the future. ❤️🌺
