DELTA UPSILON EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN In Delta Upsilon’s 184-year history, there is so much for us to be proud of. DU is the sixth oldest fraternity and first to be non-secret. When we saw the need for collaboration in 1909, DU became a founding member of the North American Interfraternity Conference. We have long been a non-hazing fraternity and have led the charge many times when it has come to tackling tough issues affecting students. Today, DU is the fraternity/ sorority leader in member assessment.
EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Simply put, Delta Upsilon is an innovator and a leader among fraternities. Throughout our existence, others have looked to DU to model the way and take the important steps needed to move our community forward. DU’s history has proven our courage and resolve; it also demands that we continue to lead.
VICE-CHAIRMAN Craig Franz, FSC, Ph.D., Bucknell ’75
Each and every DU, from our associate members to those initiated decades ago, is an active participant in DU’s leadership. Just last year, Delta Upsilon welcomed the most initiates—1,518—in our history. With that growing membership, more of our undergraduate brothers took part in DU’s educational programs than ever before, with record-breaking attendances for both the Regional Leadership Academy and Global Service Initiative. Perhaps most importantly, these programs are proven success stories. The Fraternity’s Membership Outcomes Assessment continues to prove the value and effectiveness of our programs and initiatives. Data shows DU is developing well-rounded, conscientious men better than many of our peers. DU’s educational programs are some of the many ways in which DU leads. When we build a membership experience that enhances brothers’ skills and potential, we create a ripple effect as these men take what they’ve learned in DU and put it into practice across all spectrums of their lives. Your generosity and fundraising dollars directly benefit these programs and are a catalyst in DU’s ability to build better men. Delta Upsilon’s continued and future success is rooted in our innovative spirit and our resolve to develop men of character. However, it is no secret that for any organization, innovation requires resources. With your gifts to the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation, DU is able to further improve our programs and initiatives and have them reach more members than ever before. Every year, every gift of every size makes a difference. Thank you for your support. Together, Delta Upsilon will continue to lead and improve the lives of brothers across North America. Fraternally,
Stephen K. Rowley, Ohio ’65 Chairman, Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation
