Chapter Websites are located with the respective chapter. They are contained in the number after the name in the "chapters" section. Instructions are also included.

Chapter websites should be located on this page somewhere. I see no harm in listing them at the bottom with the IHQ website. If someone does not find that acceptable, they should re-work the page to include them elsewhere.

I apologize; I made the mistake of listing the GTDU chapter website under external links. I went ahead and deleted it along with a few others because the chapter sites can be reached by clicking the number that corresponds to the chapter. Listing all the websites at the bottom would be redundant and take up too much space. Wolfted0 13:47, 22 May 2006 (GT)

Again, listing each Chapter's Website at the bottom of the page is redundant and will just end up taking up too much space. If you would like to change the way the page is formatted in the first place, then discuss it here first so that good decisions are made. In order to add a chapter's website use this formatting after that chapter's name in the Chapter's section ( Georgia Tech[1]) Wolfted0 20:38, 6/6/6 (GTDU)

I'm obviously editing the chapters when I get time, but I think that this (Chicago[2]) is the best way to display them, mostly to save space. Palm_Dogg 15:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Are you a DU, if so what chapter are you from? Is they anything that I can help you with in requards to the DU section, i am a member of the ASU Colony (Soon to be chapter). RobertScheib

• DU Chicago I'm still searching around the other fraternity sites to see what the norm is. Palm_Dogg 04:19, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, contact me on AIM FRBAS16 and we can work together. RobertScheib

As I see it, here's what needs to be done. I have to replace the Template with the Fraternity Infobox. Under "Alumni" we should probably reorganize it so that it's a lot neater (Like the Fijis have done). Then someone (Probably me) is going to have to go through our twenty page history and condense it down to a couple graphs. Maybe throw in a few pictures here and there. But that's about it.

[edit] DELTA U!

Look guys, i don't mean to rain on your parade, but either you aren't actually without secrects or a certain chapter of yours is breaking the rules. I've got brothers who have been allowed in for PART of the ceremonies, but there is always a few hours near the end where we are told "it's no one's buisness but ours" and asked to leave, what's the deal???

Could you please elaborate? I know at chapter meetings and ceremonies pledges aren't allowed in the main room for certain periods of time, and at some social events, non-brothers are basically thrown out so the brothers and their dates can have some quiet time.

All of the International Fraternity's rituals can be downloaded in .pdf format at www.deltau.org This is the only resource provided to DU chapters for rituals, and any traditions that chapters practice should accord entirely with the fraternity's principles, including non-secrecy.

The only thing I can think of is the during Rite 1 of initiation it is typically only supposed to be associate members and a few brothers. However, if someone wants to attend this part of the ceremony they are more than welcomed to in our chapter. (NCSU)

[edit] AOEU significant deletion

What was the reason behind AOEU significant deletion of DU's history? I understand that some of it was not needed but the entire reason of the creation of DU is now missing and subsequent history is missing. Frbas16 09:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
