Delta Upsilon (ΔΥ) is the sixth oldest international, all-male, college Greek-letter social fraternity and is the oldest non-secret fraternity in North America. Founded on November 4, 1834, at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Delta Upsilon has initiated over 110,000 men into its brotherhood since its founding. The sigma chi sigma chapter of Delta Upsilon at the University of Louisville is the oldest, continuous running chapter on the campus. Among its members, Delta Upsilon includes James A. Garfield, 20th President of the United States Joseph P. Kennedy, Ambassador to Great Britain and father of two senators and a President Lester B. Pearson, 14th Prime Minister of Canada Lou Holtz, NCAA football national champion as coach of Notre Dame in 1988 and ESPN college football analyst Michael D. Eisner, former chairman and CEO of Walt Disney Co Tommy Franks, former commanding general of the United States Central Command Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., editorialist and author Linus Pauling, two time Nobel Prize winner Charles Evan Hughes, former Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Juan Manuel Santos, current Colombian President. The Louisville Chapter Founded in 1921 as Sigma Chi Sigma, our local chapter flirted with association with a national organization for 25 years until the late 1940's when the chapter decided to petition for membership in Delta Upsilon. The petition was submitted in early 1948 and was approved the same year. Sigma Chi Sigma was formally chartered as the 69th Chapter of Delta Upsilon on January 8, 1949. On January 8, 2009, more than 130 chapter alumni returned to campus to mark the 60th anniversary of our affiliation with Delta Upsilon. In 2011, the chapter will celebrate it 90th Anniversary on campus. Since 1921, more than 1250 men have passed through our brotherhood in their journey of life.
