Delta Upsilon, "The Gentleman's Fraternity", is proud to be the only non-secret, non-hazing fraternity in existence. Our brothers have shown that the bonds of brotherhood are forged not through secrecy and hazing, but through a common belief in our guiding principles and the experiences we all share.
Delta Upsilon was founded in 1834 at Williams College to province outstanding men with an alternative to the secret societies of the time. Over the past 175 years, DU has grown tremendously, today boasting over 85 chapters in the United States and Canada, and over 100,000 initiated brothers.
Delta Upsilon is also one of the most active fraternities at the University of South Carolina. We sponsor and participate in a wide variety of programming including brotherhood, philanthropic, academic, and athletic events. Our Chapter's vision here at the University of South Carolina is to build a chapter filled with men that are motivated from within to better themselves, because great attitudes cannot be taught. We foster the idea that change is constant and that diversity is a key for success.
College should be the best four years of your life. As a brother of Delta Upsilon, they will be.
