The Alpha Upsilon Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded April 7, 1927 on the campus of then LeMoyne College in Memphis, TN. This chapter is one of the oldest chapters in the Southern Region. Alpha Upsilon continues to uphold the name of Delta Sigma Theta as a collegiate chapter. Alpha Upsilon was the home chapter of Delta's 15th Grand President Soror Lillian Pierce Benbow.

Some of these include Student Government Association President, National Pan-Hellenic Council, N.A.A.C.P, Dubios Scholar Program, Basketball, Volleyball, and many more!
