DELTA UPSILON 1
116 YEARS OF ILLINOIS CHAPTER TRADITION
T
he Illinois Chapter of Delta Upsilon has been a
constant fixture of the Illinois Greek community since
1905. Throughout our 116-year history, we have welcomed
over 1,800 young men into our brotherhood. During our
collegiate years in Champaign, we acquired valuable
assets, such as leadership development, personal growth,
social skills, and brotherhood, to ultimately become better
men for a global society.
While the member experience today is different
than the founding class's experience, the principles of
friendship, character, and justice and the diffusion of a
liberal culture are timeless. Despite all the changes in
our world since 1905, young men need the brotherhood,
camaraderie, and values-based education that our fraternity
provides.
Our chapter house, built in 1926, has consistently housed
the chapter since its completion. For nearly a century the
house has served as an incubator for the special bonds that
make up our brotherhood. The last improvement to the
house occurred in the 1980s, meaning it's been over 40
years since our house has been updated. For Delta Upsilon
to remain competitive on campus, we must improve our
house to meet the needs of today's students.
