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 substantial funds to make our return to Syracuse University a reality and establish 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 numerous other ways.

Alumni Governance | Three Entities Support our Brotherhood
- The Chapter Advisory Board: The Advisory Board consists of eight DU Alumni who are 1:1 mentors and advisors to our undergraduate Executive Board Officers. Their role is to support and coach the Brothers to help ensure their success. This includes leading the Chapter, following DU International Headquarters' best practices, recruiting new associate members, interfacing with SU, conducting philanthropic events, managing chapter finances, etc.
- The Housing Corporation Board: The Board of Directors for the DUSU Housing Corp (“DUSUHC”) consists of eight alumni who oversee everything to do with house-related operations. Areas of responsibility include lease administration, rent collection, vendor and contractor management, improvements and repairs, etc. DUSUHC is separate from the Chapter Advisory Board and essentially act as “landlord” of DU Syracuse Chapter House at 801 Walnut Avenue.
- The Dikaia Foundation: Established in 1952, Dikaia consists of an 16 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. Dikaia Tax ID: 16-6044201. See more information below about the annual scholarship that Dikaia makes possible. www.dikaia.org
