====University of Vermont==== In 1854 the University of Vermont chapter, which was named [[Delta Psi (University of Vermont)|Delta Psi]], severed its connections with the Anti-Secret Confederation. The cause of separation is lost to history with Delta Upsilon's own records recording that the exit of Delta Psi is "from causes unknown to us". A Delta Psi historian later claimed the withdrawal was due to the expenses the fraternity was incurring sending delegates to the meetings of the Anti-Secret Confederation.<ref name="six" /><ref name="hund">{{cite book |last=Miller |first=Thomas |date=1934 |title=Delta Upsilon One Hundred Years 1834-1934 |publisher=Delta Upsilon }}</ref> It has also been speculated that Delta Psi felt local pressure in maintaining the A.S.C.'s militant stance against secret ritual; after separating from the A.S.C. it began to undertake secret work. (Delta Upsilon has maintained that it does not consider members of Delta Psi during the period it was affiliated with the A.S.C. to also be members of Delta Upsilon, the separation being so total that the "action removed all its members from membership in the Delta Upsilon fraternity".)<ref name="thomas">{{cite book |last=Thomas |first=John |date=2005 |title=University of Vermont |publisher=Arcadia |page=30 |isbn=0738537772 }}</ref><ref name="DU">{{cite book |last=Chase |first=William |date=1884 |title=The Delta Upsilon Quinquennial Catalogue |publisher=Delta Upsilon |page=320 }}</ref> Delta Psi continued as a very successful local fraternity for 150 years after leaving Delta Upsilon. During this period, DU avoided attempts to colonize the University of Vermont. In 2014, ten years after the collapse of Delta Psi, Delta Upsilon entered the Burlington campus for the first time since its split with Delta Psi, chartering a colony.<ref>{{cite news|last=Olsen |first=Sarah |date=30 September 2014 |title=New Fraternity to Join UVM |url=http://www.vtcynic.com/2014/09/new-fraternity-to-join-uvm/ |newspaper=The Vermont Cynic |location=[[Burlington, VT]] |access-date=12 December 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141213061113/http://www.vtcynic.com/2014/09/new-fraternity-to-join-uvm/ |archive-date=13 December 2014 }}</ref>
