About our Alumni
There are over 900 Alumni from the Syracuse University Chapter of Delta Upsilon. We feel strongly that the men of Syracuse University should always have the option to join a non-secret and non-hazing fraternity. We are committed to this ideal because we believe that true Brotherhood and lifelong friendships are built on mutual respect, trust, and honor.
Over the past several years, our Alumni have raised funds to make our return to Syracuse University a reality and established an educational endowment to enable future generations of DU undergraduates to attend award-winning leadership conferences and participate in global service initiatives. Beyond financial support, we also help in other ways.

How We Support our Brotherhood
- The Chapter Advisory Board (the "CAB"): The CAB consists of eight Alumni and a SU Faculty member who are 1:1 mentors and advisors to the Officers and our undergraduate Brothers Their role is to support and coach the Brothers to help ensure their success. This includes following DU International Headquarters' best practices, recruiting new associate members, interfacing with SU, conducting philanthropic events, chapter finances, etc.
- The Housing Corporation Board ("Housing Board"): The Housing Board consists of six alumni who deal with everything to do with physical housing including liaising with the University, leases, purchasing, mortgages, repairs, insurance, taxes, etc. These men are a separate group from the Advisors and are the ‘landlords’ to our Chapter House at 801 Walnut Ave, Syracuse, NY.
- The Dikaia Foundation ("Dikaia"): Established in 1952, Dikaia consists of a nine member alumni board who aid, encourage, promote, and contribute to the education and general well being of members of the Syracuse Chapter of Delta Upsilon enrolled at Syracuse University. Alumni donations provide undergraduate Brothers with financial aid, scholarships, and incentive awards.
