Why DU?
The DU Difference.
Delta Upsilon's principles have shaped thoughtful leaders, prominent scholars, and driven students. Our impact is built on real actions that leave a lasting mark on campus and beyond.
At DU, leadership is not about titles — it's about action. Whether it's planning an event, mentoring a new member, or being President, we challenge each Brother to make a difference in any way they can. At our Chapter, leadership is a habit, not a hierarchy.
