Examples of upsilon in a Sentence

Those stories have come from across the spectrum of our student body -- from student protesters to Delta Upsilon, stories such as these reflect our failure to realize the values we so often espouse.
It was at that moment, outside of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity house, that while police were attempting to de-escalate the situation, members of the fraternity began recording the interaction, as well as shouting a variety of obscenities at the Committee, these obscenities included, but are not limited to ‘Mizzou PC, C**ts, B****es, [N*****s],’ with a plethora of other micro-aggressions.
