Ivy League Schools Chapters

[g41965]

DU has had chapters at 7 out of the 8 Ivy League Schools, here is the breakdown:


Brown 1868-1967, formed from local Gamma Nu Society founded 1860, went local as Kappa Delta Upsilon 1967-1986.KDU reinstalled as a DU chapter in 1986 went local again 1992 in a dispute over initiation fees/ chapter dues. KDU was suspended by the Brown Administration in 1997 due to a suspicious fire in the chapter house, I do not know if the chapter remains off campus.

Cornell 1869-2002 chapter suspended due to risk management problems, the imposing chapter house is still owned by Alumni Association. chapter revival very likely.

Princeton 1870-1871, chapter killed by anti-fratenity laws, I'm not sure why DU didn't try to revive chapter in 1980's when Greeks came back to Princeton.

Harvard 1880-1942, chapter died asa result of formation of DU Club formed mid 1920's, which sapped chapters strength, as a Harvard Final Club (local?). The chapter was revived in 1999 and is currently active.

Columbia 1885-1964. 60's casualty, some interest in reviving the chapter.

Penn 1888-1972, hippies killed this chapter as well , chapter revived 1980-1986, second revival 1990, chapter is currently active.

Dartmouth 1926-1966, chapter founded from Epsilon Kappa Phi, founded in 1920. Chapter went local in 1966 as Foley House(named after a very active alum) chapter basically stopped being a fraternity about 1971 and became more of a co-op.There is still a Foley House on the Dartmouth Campus but it is not part of IFC, the school website states that Foley House is now an outdoor/adventure type club.

Yale : Never has had an active DU chapter.
