International Philanthropy: Delta Upsilon Gobal Service Initiative
We are the worlds first anti-secret and anti-hazing organization, with rituals open to anyone who wants to learn about them. We have been on campus for nearly 40 years with an alumni base of nearly 400 members, all of whom have very different backgrounds and personalities but this organization has brought us all together. We work together to make ourselves into better men all while having a good time and helping our community through our service projects. Every winter we work with the City of Houghton, allowing us to serve our community by shoveling off the West Houghton Ice Rink after it closes every night. We raise money throughout the year to give to our Global Service Initiative which allows 60 brothers from all over the US and Canada to go to Jamaica and assist local contractors with building and expanding schools and churches as well as learning about the local culture by immersing ourselves in it.
