DU's Collect Three Awards In National Competition
A triple sweep of the three national competitions among chapters of the Delta Upsilon social fraternity has been scored by the KU chapter.
The MU chapter won the sweepstakes award as the outstanding DU chapter in the nation in terms of overall program; it won the scholarship cup, emblematic of the highest scholarship among the more than 90 chapters; and it won the pledge education plaque for having the best pledge training program.
THIS IS THE first triple win for the KU chapter and is believed to be the first in Delta Upsilon history.
In scholarship the KU chapter had a grade point average of 1.75 for the 1963-64 year, placing it third among 27 fraternities on the campus, but highest among DU chapters in relation to the all-men's average.
