Penn State Celebrates 100 Years

Author: Zachary Thomas

You are invited to join us for a weekend to celebrate 100 great years of Delta Upsilon at Penn State University. Please join event Chairman Colonel Vincent J. Tedesco, Jr. and the 100-year event committee for a weekend of memories, nostalgia and fun! 

We hope that you are able to attend to see all of the improvements to the chapter house, including new bathrooms and the commemorative brick wall. If you have any questions about the event, you can reach the following committee members: 

Please also consider an additional donation to cover our ongoing capital and correspondence costs. Please use this form to mail a non-refundable check by August 31, 2011 to Jeff Miller ‘92. Address located in lower section. Price of the event is $60 per person. 

We have rooms blocked at the Penn Stater for $119 per night. The number for the Penn Stater is 1-800-233-7505, and when calling ask for the block of rooms under code DELI11A – or alternatively tell them that you are with Delta Upsilon. The Penn Stater is on 215 Innovation Boulevard in State College. 

The concept of our chapter was formed by two young men from Wilkes-Barre in the early 1900s – and we have thrived and survived for an entire century due to the involvement and leadership of hundreds of undergraduates, along with very capable alumni leadership. During our existence there have been two World Wars, several other wars, the Great Depression, re-colonization, and countless cultural ideal shifts over 100 years. 


The “tie that binds” is the brotherhood and the friendships that we all have formed over the years. Please take time out of your busy schedule to “take a walk down memory lane” and to experience this unique event. You will not be disappointed!


Fraternally, Brother Tedesco ‘64 and the 100-Year Committee
