DU was founded in opposition to the Kappa Alpha Society and the Sigma Phi Society which had expanded to Williams College in 1832, DU was known as the equitable society and was formed on November 4, 1834.
DU was founded as an anti secret society as well, the Anti- Masonic party was also founded in the early 1830's ,some connection may exist between the anti masonic movement and DU.
In 1881, at the request of the Michigan Chapter, DU moved from an anti secret to a non secret position, As part of our non secret heritage, initiations are open to actives pledges and invited guests.
