Delta Upsilon (ΔΥ), commonly known as DU, is a collegiate men’s fraternity founded on November 4, 1834, at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. It holds the distinction of being the sixth-oldest men’s college fraternity in North America and the first to be established as non-secret.  Founding Principles and Early Development The fraternity was established by 30 men from Williams College who sought to create a society that stood in contrast to the prevailing secret organizations of the time. Their aim was to promote open and free discussion, welcoming “all good men and true.”  This commitment to non-secrecy was encapsulated in their motto, Ouden Adelon, meaning “Nothing Secret.” In 1847, Delta Upsilon expanded its reach by forming the Anti-Secret Confederation with chapters from Union College, Middlebury College, and Amherst College. This alliance reinforced their dedication to transparency and justice.  Adoption of the Delta Upsilon Name By 1864, the fraternity had grown to include multiple chapters. At the 1864 convention, delegates officially adopted the name Delta Upsilon, which had already been in use by several chapters.  Expansion and Influence Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Delta Upsilon continued to grow, establishing chapters across the United.
