Apparently, the Filipino fraternity members can't handle the truth based on the unmedicated psycho that's been posting about eff y'all American Greeks when we state that we don't want our identities stolen.

That's good to hear. Why didn't y'all go the proper route to begin with?

One possible reason is that the National By-laws of Delta Upsilon (at least in their current form) only allow colonies in the US and Canada.
http://www.deltau.org/files/constitution&bylaws.pdf Article III, section 8: Establishment of a Colony.

The Board of Directors, by a vote of the majority of Directors present at a meeting of the Board, may
establish and organize a local group at any college or university in the United States of America or Canada as a
Colony of the Fraternity. The Board of Directors, by a vote of the majority of the Directors present at a meeting of
the Board, may recognize a petitioning group at any college or university in the United States of America or Canada
seeking to affiliate as a Colony of the Fraternity. The Board of Directors shall appoint a committee to organize the
Colony. The organizing committee shall have authority to pledge Associate Members and to establish the initial
organizational requirements for the Colony.

Also, the following section involving chartering of an undergraduate chapters also is limited to US & Canada, so simply jumping to chapter, as would be done in the event of a Merger is out as well.

So unless the board make them a separate national organization (like APO & ASPhi do), they have to change the National by-laws as well...

The USA/Canada limitation isn't on the "Colonization Criteria" page on DU's website (http://www.deltau.org/default.aspx?a...t&ContentId=22), but I *really* don't count that as much of a justification...
