About Upsilon Beta Omega

Upsilon Beta Omega Chapter, formerly known as “The Ladies in Pink and Green,” began as an interest group in the late 80’s. As new sorors moved to the area, numbers began to grow and we researched the possibility of chartering a chapter. Because Utah is a transient area, it took quite a few years for us to get the number of sorors to charter a chapter. With the assistance of our sister chapter Theta Theta Omega, and 19th Regional Director, Cornelia Banks, we finally made history and were chartered in May 15, 1994.

Upsilon Beta Omega focuses on sisterly relations and has an established and respected presence in the Salt Lake community. Our networking efforts include consulting with such organizations as the NAACP, local churches, the University of Utah, Salt Lake Community College, Utah State University, YWCA Utah, Utah Black Chamber of Commerce, Zions Bank, Fidelity Investments, KWANZAA committee, and public and private schools.
