Delta Upsilon was established at Lafayette College on May 30, 1885. The chapter left the Lafayette College campus when the charter was revoked in 1988 due to property disputes. In the early part of 1989 the Delta Upsilon house was torn down to make room for the new student center. However, under the leadership of William Messick '68, Delta Upsilon re-colonized in the Spring of 1994 and moved into the recently vacated Phi Delta Theta house. More recently, in the fall of 2006, the chapter again moved, this time into the vacant house at 4 West Campus Drive. This past year we have moved yet again to the former PT Farinon (Sigma Chi) house. The Delta Upsilon Lafayette Chapter currently has 41 brothers. The brothers pride themselves on the four founding principles, and are continually working to apply those principles within the Fraternity, on the Lafayette College campus, and in the community.
Notable members of the Delta Upsilion Lafayette College chapter include the following.
Stephen Crane, Lafayette and Syracuse 1894 - Journalist and author; Red Badge of Courage
Winston L. Prouty, Lafayette '30 - Senator - Vermont
Thomas E. Morgan, Lafayette '58 - US Congressman - Pennsylvania
