Delta Upsilon (ΔΥ) is a non-secret international gentlemen's fraternity founded on November 4, 1834 at Williams College. Delta Upsilon is unique in that it has no secrets.[citation needed] There are no secret rituals, secret principles, secret motto, secret handshakes, or other secret things typically associated with fraternities. Most Fraternities hold their esoteric rituals as a high honor among the initiated, while in DU everyone (including outsiders) is privy to information.

In 1909 Charles Evans Hughes, while serving as Governor of New York, led the charge to incorporate Delta Upsilon Fraternity and the fraternity was incorporated in New York. He served as the first International president of the Fraternity, which was the first fraternity to incorporate. Today several other fraternities have followed Hughes' lead by incorporating. Charles Evans Hughes (April 11, 1862 – August 27, 1948) was Governor of New York, United States Secretary of State, Associate Justice and Chief Justice of the United States. ...


The fraternity headquarters initially was in New York City, but in 1969 the fraternity moved its headquarters to temporary office space in Indianapolis while its new building at 8705 Founders Road was constructed. It moved into its permanent home in December 1970 and the building was dedicated on April 17, 1971. April 17 is the 107th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (108th in leap years). ... 1971 (MCMLXXI) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1971 calendar). ...


The fraternity believes in four principles known as The Four Founding Principles. These principles are:

  • The Promotion of Friendship
  • The Development of Character
  • The Diffusion of Liberal Culture
  • The Advancement of Justice

Delta Upsilon is derived from the first two letters of the fraternity motto Δıκαıα Υποθηκη (Dikaia yōōpōthākŭ) which translates to "Justice, Our Foundation."


The Fraternity was originally founded as an Anti-Secret social fraternity to combat against the prevailing secret societies at the time. These secret societies had conspired amongst themselves to take control of campus honors and create honors that were not based on merit. Such activities had aristocratic tendencies and disgusted the founders of Delta Upsilon. Over the years however, the fraternity has since become simply non-secret. Delta Upsilon is now a thriving international fraternity with 82 chapters in the United States and Canada.


Delta Upsilon is informally known as DU or Delta U. Members of Delta Upsilon are often referred to as DUs, Deltas, and Ducks.


Delta Upsilon is known for running philanthropic events in many communities internationally. The main organization they provide support to is Boys and Girls Club. ...
