In my opinion, Delta Upsilon lacks absolutely nothing in not having secret ritual. I feel that the fact that my fiance can share with me what his fraternity stands for is awesome. In DU, your family and friends can see you get initiated! I think that is wonderful. It is so great for them to be able to fully share what it is that they stand for.
As a side note, I know stuff about the secret fraternities on campus that I shouldn't. Also about the sororities. It is not info I seeked out, just info that people let slip or purposely told about their ritual (handshakes, passwords, why the pin is what it is, etc. for several groups). A lot of the DU's I know feel that people would possibly find out their stuff anyway, since they hear about everyone else's stuff, so even if they had secrets, they would eventually get around like everyone else's. Also, keep in mind that while DU is not a secret fraternity, they are a private fraternity. So they keep what is there business their business. Just because they don't have secret ritual doesn't mean that everything their chapters do is up on a billboard for all to see.
Just my $.02
