I will begin this review shortly. – Quadell ^(talk) 13:06, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to have to quickfail this nomination due to the following significant issues:

• The article has problems with plagiarism, even if it was unintentional. For instance, this sentence – "The Delta Upsilon Global Service Initiative (GSI) offers members a unique opportunity to engage in direct service in developing nations and United States while uniting their actions with the principles of the Fraternity." – is copied directly from the source. There may be other cases of this in the article as well. This is a serious problem; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism.

• A few parts of the article reads like an advertisement, or like a brochure from the fraternity. Phrases like "the Fraternity is able to touch the lives of thousands of people" are not encyclopedic.

• Nearly all the information in the article comes from DU itself, either from The Cornerstone, from the official website, or from works published by Delta Upsilon Fraternity. See point #5 at Wikipedia:ABOUTSELF.

I have added note at the top of this article about these concerns. If all these issues are resolved, feel free to renominate. – Quadell ^(talk) 14:09, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
