    History: Delta Upsilon is derived from the first two letters of the fraternity motto Dikaia Upotheka which translates to "Justice, Our Foundation." The fraternity was originally founded as an anti-secret social fraternity to combat against prevailing secret societies at the time. More recently, Delta Upsilon has adopted the stance of non-secrecy, practicing its ritual openly. Our pillars are Culture, Friendship, Justice, and Character, and they are legs upon which Delta Upsilon stands. Delta Upsilon has more than 80 Chapters and several Colonies with approximatley 3,000 undergraduate members and 65,000 living alumni. Delta Upsilon has initiated over 110,000 men since its founding.
