==Member misconduct== In 2018, the chapter of Delta Upsilon at the University of Washington in Seattle had its charter revoked for beating pledges and forcing them into servitude of senior undergraduate members. The charter revocation followed its earlier suspension from the university's interfraternity council.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Long |first1=Katherine |title=UW fraternity Delta Upsilon loses its charter for hazing |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/uw-fraternity-delta-upsilon-loses-its-charter-for-hazing/ |access-date=1 April 2020 |work=[[The Seattle Times]] |date=28 June 2018}}</ref> In April 2019, a document was anonymously leaked containing unofficial "minutes" written by members of the Swarthmore College local Phi Psi fraternity between 2013 and 2016. These documents revealed discussion of fraternity activities using racist, sexist, and homophobic language, as well as language condoning sexual assault. These documents also contained the labeling, by the local Phi Psi chapter, of parts of Swarthmore College's Delta Upsilon fraternity house as a "rape attic" and a "rape tunnel". This sparked student activism that led to the voluntary disbandment by unanimous vote of both fraternities shortly thereafter.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Turkewitz |first1=Julie |title=Swarthmore Fraternities Disband After Uproar Over 'Rape Attic' Documents |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/swarthmore-fraternities-rape-attic.html |access-date=3 May 2019 |work=The New York Times |date=1 May 2019}}</ref>
