Editing Delta Upsilon (section)

====Brown University====

Delta Upsilon's chapter at [[Brown University]], which was organized in 1868, disaffiliated in 1967, reforming as a local known as Kappa Delta Upsilon (so named because it was the tenth chapter of Delta Upsilon and Kappa is the tenth letter of the Greek alphabet). The decision came after a decade of strained relations with the DU headquarters, originating in its decision to declare an emergency and dissolve the 1956 sitting of the Undergraduate Convention, a move it said was necessary to "prevent open dissension". (The preceding year, the Brown DU chapter had elected an [[African-American]] as chapter president causing the fraternity's new southern  chapters to threaten a boycott of the convention.) <ref name="bdh">{{cite news |last=Naline |first=Lai |date=7 February 1986 |title=KDU is Now Delta Upsilon |url=http://library.brown.edu/cds/dbdh/bdh_render.php?issue=1236283767342537&div=DIVL147&pid=0 |newspaper=Brown Daily Herald }}</ref><ref name="BROWN" /><ref name="DUQa">{{cite news |date=January 1986 |title=The President's Report |url=http://issuu.com/deltaupsilon/docs/quarterlywinter1986 |newspaper=Delta Upsilon Quarterly }}</ref>

Almost 20 years later, in 1986, the Brown chapter rejoined Delta Upsilon. Terry Bullock, then Delta Upsilon international president, wrote of the return of Brown that "there is no greater joy than the reconciliation of a family estranged for many years". The joy was short-lived, however, as the chapter again voted to disaffiliate in 1991, reverting to the name Kappa Delta Upsilon.<ref name="BROWN">{{cite web |url=http://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/Databases/Encyclopedia/search.php?serial=F0270 |title=Brunoniana |website=brown.edu |publisher=[[Brown University]] |access-date=20 December 2014}}</ref><ref name="DUQa" /> In 1996 Kappa Delta Upsilon was banned from campus for 5 years due to the circumstances surrounding a fire in its basement.
