10 YEARS AGO THIS
WEEK (OCTOBER 4,2002):
After a unanimous vote, Delta
Upsilon became an active mem-
her of the University's Interfra-
ternity Council, making it the
only fraternity on campus with
a nationally mandated alcohol-.
free policy to reach full-member
participation with the IFC at the
time, the Daily reported.
Then-IFC President Joel Win-

ston said other fraternities could
look to DU as an example.
"Ican feel confident in saying
that within the next five to 10
years the majority of our frater-
nities on campus will be alcohol-
free," he said.
Then-DU President Brandon
Phenix told the Daily that the fra-
ternity offers a mixture of social
and service-based events.
"We represent the new era of
fraternity life on campus - not
for better or worse, inferior or
superior - but simply a new tra-
dition built on brotherhood, phi-
lanthropy events as well as social
events."
