It is based on a man's ability and readiness to contribute to becoming a good member and helping the chapter succeed. All brothers have the opportunity to become leaders within the chapter as officers, committee members, project chairmen, or just by getting involved. We stress the other aspects of leadership such as academics, community service and campus involvement. The backbone of brotherhood is friendship. When a man joins DU, he makes many friends.
Universities can either a great experience or an unfortunate one.
We are concerned with how our brothers are getting along at school, socially and academically. We try to support our brothers in all of their endeavors. We try to incorporate these aspects in everything we do. Delta Upsilon was the first fraternity to adopt these ideals and always aspires to hold them in high esteem.
