About

Delta Upsilon is the nation’s oldest and largest non-secret fraternity, and the world’s sixth oldest all-male, college social fraternity. As a non-secret fraternity, we do not have secret traditions and our chapters are open for anyone to observe. We stress four main principles in our fraternity: the promotion of friendship; the development of character, the diffusion of liberal culture, and the advancement of justice. True to the nature of our principles, we at Delta Upsilon build great relationships through our brotherhood. We grow to reach our full potential, and we strive to better society. In addition, we as members learn to be just when dealing with others. It is these ideals that define Delta Upsilon.
