Mann, Longoria and Tringe said that there is a need for new social venues at Harvard, citing campus media coverage of student complaints.
"There's a void on campus," Tringe said.
Delta Upsilon will join Sigma Chi, Harvard's only fraternity with a chapter house, as well as several other ethnically based fraternities at Harvard.
"Sigma Chi has been fairly successful, so that shows that people are needing this. There's a want out there," Longoria said.
Affiliating with a national fraternity is the first step to creating a new social outlet on campus, Tringe said.
He said he feels the affiliation will give the group credibility, provide information on getting started and restore the Delta Upsilon tradition at the College.
The fraternity's history at Harvard began with its establishment in the 1890s. The group later occupied a house at 45 Dunster St., now occupied by Nantucket Nectars and J. Press. Before the Second World War the group disaffiliated with the national chapter and became the D.U. final club, which was absorbed into the Fly Club in 1995.
