The fraternity hymn is "Hail, Delta Upsilon".<ref name="cornerstone" />

{{cquote|Hail, Delta Upsilon! Brotherhood glorious!

Justice thy cornerstone, true manhood thy goal!

O'er all thine enemies, forever victorious,

Hail, Delta Upsilon, eternal soul!

Reared in adversity, so shalt thou never

Let from thy alters die the life-giving flame;

Hands gripped in loving clasp, all brothers forever,

Each to the other true, and ever the same.
}}

The "Delta Upsilon Ode" is also used for special occasions; its melody and lyrics were penned by Edward La Wall Seip of Delta Upsilon's [[Lafayette College]] chapter.

"Tis the Plan of Delta U" by John Briggs and Joel Slocum, from the fraternity's [[University of Rochester]] and [[Colby College]] chapters respectively, tells of the expansion of Delta Upsilon into Canada (poetically termed "Our Lady of the Snows") leading to the hearts of Americans and Canadians being "linked together at the shrine of Delta U".

The traditional air "[[Down Among the Dead Men (song)|Down Among the Dead Men]]" is used as a toasting song at formal dinners with slightly modified lyrics penned by [[Joyce Kilmer]] in which those who deny the ritual toast to "our beloved Delta U" are condemned to lay "down among the dead men".

The "Delta Upsilon Sweetheart Song" is a courting song used in different ways by different chapters. At [[Ohio University]], for instance, it is performed at the chapter's spring [[cotillion]] and it has also been played at the weddings of members.<ref>{{cite news|title=Miss Yvonne Richardson|date=20 September 1956|newspaper=Belleville Telescope|location=[[Belleville, Kansas]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Associate Member Education Manual Fall 2010|date=2010|publisher=Ohio University Delta Upsilon|page=8}}</ref>
