Delta Upsilon (ΔΥ) is a non-secret international gentlemen's fraternity founded on November 4, 1834 at Williams College. Delta Upsilon is unique in that it has no secrets. There are no secret rituals, secret principles, secret motto, secret handshakes, or other secret things typically associated with fraternities. The International Fraternity recently celebrated its 170th anniversary. The International Fraternity Headquarters is located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In 1909 Charles Evans Hughes lead the charge to incorporate Delta Upsilon Fraternity and created a headquarters for the organization in Indianapolis, IN. He served as the first International president of the Fraternity, which was the first fraternity to incorporate. Today several other fraternities have followed Hughes' lead by incorporating.

The fraternity believes in four principles known as The Four Founding Principles. These principles are:

  • The Promotion of Friendship
  • The Development of Character
  • The Diffusion of Liberal Culture
  • The Advancement of Justice

Delta Upsilon is derived from the first two letters of the fraternity motto Δıκαıα Υποθηκη (Dikaia Hypothēkē) which translates to "Justice, Our Foundation"

The Fraternity was originally founded as an Anti-Secret social fraternity to combat against the prevailing secret societies at the time. These secret societies had conspired amongst themselves, to take control of campus honors, and create honors that were not based on merit. Such activities had aristocratic tendencies and disgusted the founders of Delta Upsilon. Over the years however, the fraternity has since become simply non-secret. Delta Upsilon is now a thriving international fraternity with 82 chapters in the United States and Canada.

Delta Upsilon is informally known as DU or Delta U. Members of Delta Upsilon are often referred to as DUs, Deltas, and Ducks.
