Editing Delta Upsilon (section)

===21st century===
Beginning in 2009 the Fraternity implemented a series of changes that radically reshaped the organization. The fraternity closed a quarter of its chapters for poor performance, including risky behaviors, poor grades, and weak service records. Then it opened a similar number of new chapters under the close guidance of the national organization. The fraternity doubled its staff, from 11 to 22 and added new employees with advanced degrees in higher education or nonprofit management. The fraternity placed an emphasis on the number of members attending educational programming, including international service work and today more than half of undergraduate members participate in at least one educational program per year.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://chronicle.com/article/Change-at-4-Fraternities/232083/|title=Change at 4 Fraternities|date=3 August 2015|work=[[Chronicle of Higher Education]]|access-date=17 August 2015}}</ref> Among the chapters targeted for closure was one of the fraternity's longest enduring chapters, the 120-year-old Technology chapter at the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]].<ref name="pr" /> Though the shuttering of the Technology chapter was for what fraternity officials would only describe as inappropriate behavior, ''[[The Tech (newspaper)|The Tech]]'' reported an investigation by Delta Upsilon had allegedly uncovered a prohibited "secret ritual" that had been performed by the chapter for the preceding 70 years. Officers of the Technology chapter, which one account described had a "growing distance from [the] international fraternity", rejected the charges, though acknowledged they had effectively stopped participating in the fraternity's programs.<ref name="tech">{{cite news |last=Bent |first=Drew |date=2 December 2014 |title=Behind the suspension of MIT Delta Upsilon |url=http://tech.mit.edu/V134/N58/du/du.htm |newspaper=The Tech }}</ref> In denying an appeal for restoration of the chapter, Delta Upsilon headquarters explained that they had "been working in coordination with university staff" but had been unable to reach a solution by which the chapter could continue at MIT.<ref name="pr">{{cite web|url=http://www.deltau.org/nosecrets/media/pressreleases|title=Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Suspends Technology Chapter|website=deltau.org|publisher=Delta Upsilon International Fraternity|access-date=16 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141215205610/http://www.deltau.org/nosecrets/media/pressreleases|archive-date=15 December 2014|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref name="tech" />

On March 28, 2009, Delta Upsilon established its 152nd chapter, and the second of the 21st century, at [[Webster University]] in [[St. Louis, Missouri]]. The initiation was significant as it was the first time in more than a century that Delta Upsilon established a chapter at a school where no previous [[fraternities and sororities]] existed.<ref>{{cite news | title=Webster Chapter Installed | year=2009 | publisher=Delta Upsilon Fraternity | url =http://issuu.com/deltaupsilon/docs/du_quarterly__summer_2009 | work =DU Quarterly | pages =7 | access-date = 2009-07-29}}</ref>
