The Only Non-Secret Fraternity

In relation to other fraternities, DU differs in a major way because it is non-secret. Since our founding in 1834, we have made public the ideals and principles that guide our existence. Unlike other fraternities, Delta Upsilon tells you everything that you or your parents want to know about our pledgeship, initiation rites, and what will be expected from you as a member. Initiation is a very special occasion. While others perform their rites of initiation behind closed doors, we encourage pledges to invite their parents and friends to witness the moment we receive pledges into our brotherhood. Also, unlike other fraternities we can tell you what our Greek letters stand for. Feel free to ask any of our brothers. Leadership in Delta Upsilon and Beyond.

As men of Delta Upsilon, we continue to stress the things that have helped our growth. We stress academic and excellence in leadership. We also encourage community and school involvement, as well as an active social life. Our goal is to have every brother involved with another organization on campus. We consistently perform as the best fraternity on campus. Being a leader in the University and community is important to every member of Delta Upsilon. Whether it is a position in the Chapter, Student Congress, Ambassadors, Admissions, or other Student Organizations, each and every member has the opportunity to be a leader on campus and in the community. We strive to build better men and get each and every member involved in leadership at the same time.
