OUR BROTHERHOOD
Welcome to our website! We are excited that you've taken the time to learn more about our Chapter. Founded in 1834, Delta Upsilon has always aimed to be "not your average fraternity." From the beginning, Delta Upsilon has prided itself on it's non-secrecy and accepting of all different types of men. Our uniqueness is what has allowed Delta Upsilon to thrive for almost two hundred years.
Our Chapter here at Michigan Tech has thrived for over forty years. Since our Chapter began, we have welcomed over four hundred brothers into our brotherhood and made countless lifelong friendships. The meaning of brotherhood is different to all. To some it is hiking and exploring the Keweenaw and taking advantage of all the community has to offer. To others it may be support in classes and a way to get involved on campus. Some may see it as someone to laugh with or a shoulder to lean on when times are hard. And for all of us, it is helping dig each others cars out after a blizzard.
As members of a great community, we are always happy to give our time to those who need it. Our brothers take part in many events such ad MDOT's Adopt-a-Highway program and maintaining the ice rink at the local West Edwards City Park. You will also find us at many events on campus, such as helping run blood drives and performing as ushers in the Rosza Center. We believe that helping our community not only makes it a better place for all, but is the best way to live to our mission statement of:
