Delta Upsilon is based on service, support, belonging, and sisterhood here at Ohio Wesleyan. Our members uphold the standards and values of Tri Delta in their everyday life on campus. We bring members together to find a sisterhood to support and raise awareness for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Some of our favorite philanthropy events we host are DDD Kick ball and DHOP. We also participate in Sincerely Yours to continue to raise funds for St. Jude. We strive to create an inclusive environment on campus creating a space where our members feel like they belong. All of our members are very involved on campus participating in other campus organizations and varsity sports. Delta Upsilon participates in other chapters' philanthropy events, sisterhood activities, connections with the community, and chapter formals.
