Were you started from a local?

[g41965]

The Texas Chapter of Delta Upsilon was founded as a local in July 1947 as the 1834 club. The local was installed on October 29, 1949 as the 66th chapter of DU and the only chapter in the deep south. The chapter initiated 39 actives and seven alumni at chartering.
The chapter went inactive in 2000. Approximately 900 + men have been initiated in the chapter. Chapter size has varied, in the 1950's the chapter fluctuated between 35-60 after building a new house in 1958 the chapter ranged in size from 65-120 members from 160 to 1985 in the late 1980's a decline began, and the chapter ranged in size from 25-45 members from 1986 until closure. A revival was attempted but cut short due to risk managment problems (IE a keg party!). Currently a local exists again as The Texas DU club with approximately 35-40 members, the local is housed in the alumni association owned house at 2305 Leon Austin, Texas 78705.
