DELTA UPSILON PHI the new name of DU Philippines

[duphil]

As we have come up to a decision and agreed by the founders and alumni association of Delta Upsilon in the Philippines the new name now of the fraternity is now DELTA UPSILON PHI which stands for DELTA UPSILON OF THE PHILIPPINES .


The reason of changing the name now is to create peace and harmony to the International and as we proudly say that "Delta Upsilon 1834 , the one who inspired our fraternity and serve as our foundation".

We officially declare today that the new name is DELTA UPSILON PHI.

And you still look like copycats who are ripping off DU. Wait, you are!

[Xidelt]

Inspired? Or was it a cease and desist letter from the real DU?

[rufio]

essentially the latter

The International head is aware already and please no more violent reactions regarding this matter.The Executive Director know about this furom and we don`t want again to happen that I will send this link in order that some people will be enlighten that the International Heads of DU knows that our new name is Delta Upsilon Phi Fraternity/Sorority.There are a lot of fraternities with similar names like in US Delta Sigma Chi and Sigma Chi Delta , what can you say about that?

Yeah we started as Delta Upsilon and these two greek letters are very precious to us.We are registered in different chapters as Delta Upsilon and to carry the name Delta Upsilon Phi is the only way that we can still be known as the Old DU in every chapters in the Philippines.

For further info`s Delta Upsilon Phi is a very different one compared to the old , our new motto is OPTIMA , SPERANDO , SPERO.Official colors , Olive green and sapphire blue.Priniciples LOyalty , Virtue and Equality or or promoting LOVE.Official flower Carnation.Symbol Knight for fraternity and chaplet for sorority.

Seriously. If you're not DU anymore, time to get out of the DU board.
