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.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but in reference to the bit highlighted in black above, doesn't that conflict with DU's constitution and bylaws (Articles 2 and 3) and Policies and Procedures (Policies 4.5, 4.6) which are available online? As I understand it, no interest group has formally been established, no colony has been recognized, and no chapter has been chartered. Even though the ritual of initiation may be available online, how is the "initiation" of the "seven pioneers" a valid initiation? And isn't the founding date of a new chapter marked by the date on which IHQ grants a charter?

They consider themselves to be valid chapters and are in the process of establishing themselves as such with our IHQ.

Interesting. I guess we'll just have to wait and see the results of DU IHQ's investigation. It just seems to me that they're taking liberties that may ultimately cost them the opportunity to obtain a genuine charter.

AS THE ALUMNI PRES FOR D.U PHILIPPINE CHAPTER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION AS FAR AS OUR EXCISTENCE IS CONCERNED YOU MAY ASKED ME IM CURRENTLY BASE IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY U.S.A IM BEN A GEOLOGIST BY PROFFISION.

[DUKyleXY]

If you look closely, their text is on the arms of the Delta, not the Upsilon, also, they are fully recognized by IHQ as a legal entity without any copyright issues.

DU-Philippines is not the same org.

brod benhur I really appreciate that u have come up to this site and had joined also on this forum cause I really waited that by somehow the Philippine chapters will now have a spokeperson to the IHQ if ever they want to meet with you in person.The finalization of our recognition will be after the Board of Directors meeting this coming january 9, 2009 as what the executive director had emailed to me.

About your location there just take charge of the meeting of some chapters whrein you can easily visit them or those chapters that is near your residents in New Jersey.Thanks for joining this forum.

[BEN HUR]

BRO. IM AM VERY GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU EVENTHOUGH WERE BUSY FROM OUR WORK NOW A DAYS BUT STILL MY HEART BELONGS TO THE FRATERNITY ILL DO MY BEST TO ATTEND THAT MEETING BUT I CANT GARANTE DUE TO MY WORK SCHEDULE BUT I NEED ALL THE INFO. ABOUT THAT MATTER.
THANKS

[alumnisec]

brod your presence in the US will help a lot.Actually I already send to the Executive Director your contact number and email add so that he will also send you some updates after the meeting of the board on January.If ever I could go back to the Philippines next year I probably meet all chapters in our country so that I could share also to them regarding the progress of our affiliation.

[alumnisec]

Sorry to ask but as the alumni secretary of Delta Upsilon in the Philippines ,I just want know about the pledging procedures.In the Philippines we do have system also with regards to the acceptance of pledges.

Since we the DU`s working in Saudi Arabia are finding it hard to communicate always to oour brothers in the Philippines,I just want to know or even drop me a private message wherein I am very much interested to know about the way pledgees being accepted by the fraternity.

In the Philippines although absolutely no hazing but pledgees undergo on a 1 month service in order to become an official DU,like helping the fraternity during philantrophic activities like tree planting,mass feeding,clean up drive and others.

Grading system is a must also cause we are aiming for potential members and future leaders.

I would be glad to hear any ideas regarding this matter.Thanks and God bless!!!

[alumnisec]

Good day!!!

Just want to encourage everyone to visit also our alumni site www.deltaupsilonalumni.wetpaint.com cause I upload there photos of DU`s who are working the same with me here in Saudi Arabia.

Most probably with the help of DU`s here in Saudi Arabia we will be designing a new website which will be launch next year.It would be www.phildu.org .Am still working with the web host on how much to pay yearly.This will be the official website of all DU`s in the Philippines.

The webiste www.deltaupsilonalumni.wetpaint.com will be shut down next year if ever we will finish the official site.

Thanks and best regards!!!

Please do excuse me for posting your furom since our chapters in the Philippines are still waiting for the final recognition this coming January 9, 2009 as what the executive director had told me.

I just want to take this opportunity to publish our new site and its the website that will carry all the chapters in the Philippines and as well as link all the chapters.

The responsible of making this website is me and other overseas filipino workers who are designated the same with me here in Saudi Arabia.

Please do visit the official website of all chapters in the Philippines.

www.duph.net
We are still looking for additional details we can add on the site but at
least we had establish or finish one. Whatever decisions from the Board although we had know and recieve an email that it is getting positive but still we are hoping that we receive the official recognition.

We the alumni both in the Philippines and as well as working abroad are expressing our love and loyalty to this fraternity and respect whateever decision from the Board of Directors.

Since from the beginning of our affiliation we never try to expand Delta Upsilon without permission and even the alumni from alberta and miami are our witness that they had advice us on how to become a recognize chapter.Without thier replies and advices probably we will not pursue on expanding Delta Upsilon in our country.
