About the chapter

The Delta Upsilon vision is to be the premier men’s fraternity committed to Building Better Men for a global society through service, leadership development, and lifelong personal growth for its membership. Our implementation of the four founding principles of The Promotion of Friendship, The Development of Character, The Diffusion of Liberal Culture, and The Advancement of Justice has allowed us to consistently be ranked among the top Delta Upsilon chapters in the nation.

“At Delta Upsilon we live our ideals and bring together determined, principled men who push each other to achieve more, lead with honor, and live with integrity.”

Connor Dunne, 2025 Chapter President
