DU Fraternity Drops All Affiliation With KSU Politics
Delta Upsilon at Kent State condemns campus politics as dis honest and useless and drops its affiliations after last Friday's election, calling the process a farce with ballot stuffing and cheating. President Howard Hyser says the move targets all student government and parties, not just Blue Star, and cites fraternities and independents seeking power over governance. The DU chapter, longtime ally of Blue Star since 1946, says it will not support or engage with campus political groups.
