DELTA UPSILON
Building Better Men
Delta Upsilon is the sixth oldest fraternity in North America and the oldest non-secret,
non-hazing fraternity in the world. Founded in 1834 at Williams College in Massachusetts, Delta Upsilon now has 69 chapters in the United States and Canada. The Wisconsin Chapter was chartered in 1885 and since 1906 has occupied the same “home” at 644 N. Frances St. on the shore of Lake Mendota.
Delta Upsilon creates valuable learning and personal development experiences for its members as it seeks to promote and advance justice.
Our mission is Building Better Men. Our vision is to be the premier men's fraternity, preparing our brothers for a global society through service, leadership development and lifelong personal growth.
Simply put, DU helps build men who are difference makers.
