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?
