DELTA PHI UPSILON FRATERNITY OBSERVES BROTHERHOOD MONTH
Houston, TX – 5/1/2011 – Under the umbrella of its History & Heritage national program theme, Delta Phi Upsilon Fraternity, Incorporated today announced its designation of the month of May as Brotherhood Month, during which its chapters, colonies, regions and members will take the time to celebrate not only the fraternity, but each other, with activities designed to enhance and enrich the powerful bond of brotherhood and friendship. In announcing the commencement of the month of celebrations, national president Larrel Green sought to stress that “Brotherhood, which is one of five guiding principles of Delta Phi Upsilon (in addition to friendship, loyalty, justice and temperance), means creating a family-oriented atmosphere.” President Green went on to remind his members that “According to our principles, members are not just brothers with those in their chapter, but with the entire national fraternity.” Delta Phi Upsilon’s chapters are encouraged to create dynamic program events that interpret the theme of “Brotherhood for Life.” The general public is asked to support our chapters in all of their endeavors.
