BRIEF HISTORY OF DELTA UPSILON IN THE PHILIPPINES

Early of 2004 seven group of men who were alumni of the Negros Oriental State University and former fratmen in thier college days have decided to established the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity in the Philippines because they believe that in this fraternity they have found what they are looking for,the true meaning of brotherhood. These alumni first discover delta upsilon through a wide research on the internet and study the expansion procedures and 20 things in bringing DU to the campus.But just to legalize the expansion they have decided to email the IHQ and other chapters in North America and fortunately one alumni from Alberta chapter and one also from Miami chapter had manage to reply the email.In thier email they have advice the seven pioneers to continue to send emails and send also the list of members and photos to the IHQ in order to be recognize.

Because of the response of the alumni from the 2 chapters of North America the pioneers were encourage to pursue the expansion of delta upsilon in the Philippines.Until such time that in June 22, 2004 the seven pioneers namely Benhur R. Patalinghug , Engr. Fryle P. Lim , Roel G. Zunega Jr, Albert A. Suelto , Laong-laan Polinar , Cerilo Ibanez , and Rico Bohol had conduct the ritual of intitiation and proclaimed the date as the official founding for Delta Upsilon in the Philippines.


The first university wherein the alumni first introduced Delta Upsilon was the Silliman University Chapter or the Mother Chapter and a number of students who come to joined and be a part of this non-secret fraternity.Indeed through this school Delta Upsilon had expanded to other colleges and universities by the efforts of the undergraduates who express thier love and loyalty to the fraternity.The next was the Negros Oriental State University which is founded the same date with the Silliman Chapter ,June 22, 2004.


On the other hand the efforts of the DU`s towards chapter expansions will also be acknowledge in the history and so it has been included here the brothers who are responsible in expanding these chapters.
