- - DELTA UPSILON IN THE PHILIPPINES (https://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=100071)

After doing some research on this issue, I discovered that Delta Upsilon's headquarters website lists all active chapters, and colonies, and interest groups. Nowhere on this list is any mention made of any Philippine group at any level of recognition. I also discovered that all of the Philippine websites given in this thread display the coat of arms and other works of Delta Upsilon International Fraternity claiming the Philippine chapters to be a direct extension of the North American organization.

To the DUs here, do the Philippine groups have permission from Delta Upsilon to be using your copyrighted/trademarked works, or are they considered perps as far as DU is concerned?

no they're operating outside of our permission. so they're perping. were just nice enough not to make a big deal out of it. it's the only downfall to being non-secret and having ritual and trademarks available on the internet; anyone can just pick up your letters and pretend.

Do you then wish for them to continue to post and promote their 'chapters' within the DU forum, or do you prefer they not be permitted to do so unless/until recognized by Delta Upsilon IHQ?

Don't worry about removing their access... They are being truthful in their attempts to affiliate. I am a National Undergraduate officer (UGAB Province 9) and our last Board of Directors meeting summary report mentioned:

"The discussion then moved to international expansion. As some of you may or may not know there are a few “Chapters” of Delta Upsilon working out in the Philippines. International has become more aware of this, and at the meeting we discussed whether this would be a worthwhile investment for Delta Upsilon. We felt as though having more than just North American chapters would be worthwhile, and voiced so to the Board."

So at least they are attempting to affiliate...better than most Philippines 'chapters.'

yeah, let them have their access. as long as they're not over spamming our board with the same thread, i dont have a problem.

ps, they need to stop PMing me.

Can you post here details about your national origins? I cannot find any site speaking about your national origins. I believe that these are certain details that need to be opened.

thanks

Which entity are you speaking to questioner?

The DU-North America origins can be found here: http://www.deltau.org/Default.aspx?a...t&ContentId=89

As to the DU-Philippines, they have no 'national' origins, they do not consider themselves as a national organization, merely as chapters of Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. If you want info on their chapters, check out one of their websites (posted earlier many times)

Hope this helps...

To some extent there is a national history in the Philippines to its inception and to its "Philippine Founding Father/s"... I may call it a "national" history; they may call it "local" history; but one thing is certain, that there such a thing exist for DU-phil.

Delta Upsilon Society of San Felipe

San Felipe, Zambales, Philippines

Is this related to the Philippine organization?

The two organizations are completely separate. DU-San Felipe is a separate organization with their own symbology, ritual, membership, etc.

hey, the DU society badge looks awfully familiar...

BRIEF HISTORY OF DELTA UPSILON IN THE PHILIPPINES

Early of 2004 seven group of men who were alumni of the Negros Oriental State University and former fratmen in thier college days have decided to established the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity in the Philippines because they believe that in this fraternity they have found what they are looking for,the true meaning of brotherhood. These alumni first discover delta upsilon through a wide research on the internet and study the expansion procedures and 20 things in bringing DU to the campus.But just to legalize the expansion they have decided to email the IHQ and other chapters in North America and fortunately one alumni from Alberta chapter and one also from Miami chapter had manage to reply the email.In thier email they have advice the seven pioneers to continue to send emails and send also the list of members and photos to the IHQ in order to be recognize.

Because of the response of the alumni from the 2 chapters of North America the pioneers were encourage to pursue the expansion of delta upsilon in the Philippines.Until such time that in June 22, 2004 the seven pioneers namely Benhur R. Patalinghug , Engr. Fryle P. Lim , Roel G. Zunega Jr, Albert A. Suelto , Laong-laan Polinar , Cerilo Ibanez , and Rico Bohol had conduct the ritual of intitiation and proclaimed the date as the official founding for Delta Upsilon in the Philippines.

The first university wherein the alumni first introduced Delta Upsilon was the Silliman University Chapter or the Mother Chapter and a number of students who come to joined and be a part of this non-secret fraternity.Indeed through this school Delta Upsilon had expanded to other colleges and universities by the efforts of the undergraduates who express thier love and loyalty to the fraternity.The next was the Negros Oriental State University which is founded the same date with the Silliman Chapter ,June 22, 2004.

On the other hand the efforts of the DU`s towards chapter expansions will also be acknowledge in the history and so it has been included here the brothers who are responsible in expanding these chapters.

THE CHAPTER EXPANSIONS

The alumni pioneers of the fraternity eventhough they are busy with thier jobs both local or overseas, but they still stay in contact with thier alumni and undergraduate brothers for they believe that Delta Upsilon wasn`t only for college days but for a lifelong brotherhood. Hail delta upsilon!!!!

If you look closely, their text is on the arms of the Delta, not the Upsilon, also, they are fully recognized by IHQ as a legal entity without any copyright issues.

DU-Philippines is not the same org.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but in reference to the bit highlighted in black above, doesn't that conflict with DU's constitution and bylaws (Articles 2 and 3) and Policies and Procedures (Policies 4.5, 4.6) which are available online? As I understand it, no interest group has formally been established, no colony has been recognized, and no chapter has been chartered. Even though the ritual of initiation may be available online, how is the "initiation" of the "seven pioneers" a valid initiation? And isn't the founding date of a new chapter marked by the date on which IHQ grants a charter?
