Founders Day Dinners A Grand Success!

The 169th Anniversary of our Fraternity was celebrated in grand fashion this fall with several events occurring to celebrate our founding.

Alumni dinners were held in various cities across the United States and Canada. The McGill alumni celebrated their 105th anniversary with their annual banquet on October 18. The Western Reserve, Minnesota, and Washington Chapters all reported that they gathered for alumni events in early November. In addition, the Milwaukee Alumni Club held its 80th annual Founders Day Dinner on November 7. That same evening, a rebirth of the Philadelphia Alumni Club was held at the Union League Club in downtown Philadelphia.

After 35 years of dormancy, the club is corning back with a vengeance, thanks to the vision of DU Board Chairman Bill Messick, Lafayette '68, who is becoming instrumental in renewing the DU spirit in all of our alumni.

Sharing a few moments and looking to the future during the Philadelphia dinner are Board Chairman Messick, Diane Datcher of the Philadelphia Boys & Girls Clubs, and Michael R. Shepherd 'OS,VPhuman services for the Pennsylvania Chapter.

At the Milwaukee dinner, over 100 attended and heard Mawi Asgedom, Harvard '99, give a vibrant keynote address. Delta Upsilon brothers from 10 chapters and graduating years of 1941 through 2006 celebrated their membership

Individual recognitions were given, and the Fraternity's Executive Director Jeffrey Fuhrman, Northern Iowa '94, addressed the gathering.

Between this spring and next fall, alumni club dinners are being planned for: Boston, Washington D.C. , New York City, the Pennsylvania Lehigh Valley, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, and Northern California, with many more that will surface in the interim.

Brother Henry M. Rowan, WilliamslTechno/ogy 145 Receives DU Distinguished Alumni Award

O

n November 7,2003 at the Philadelphia Alumni Club Dinner, Brother Henry M. Rowan was presented with the high honor of the Delta Upsilon Distinguished Alumni Award. The award was presented by Brother Colin P. Shay, Pennsylvania '05, on behalf of the Intemational Fratemity. Brother Rowan is the 44th recipient of this award. The award was presented to Brother Rowan in recognition of his successful engineering career, and the prestige that he has brought to the Fratemity though his philanthropic spirit and his dedication to education and the Four Founding Principles.

In 1992, Glassboro State College, Glassboro, New Jersey, changed its name to Rowan College to honor the substantial gift given to the college by Hemy Rowan and his wife. At the time, it was the largest gift given to a public college or university in the history of American higher education. The college received university status in 1997. Rowan University has become an extraordinary comprehensive institution that has improved the quality of life for the citizens of New Jersey and the sUlTounding states, which was largely due to the efforts of Hemy M. Rowan.

"One of the greatest pieces of luck I have ever had, however, was to join Delta Upsilon."

- Brother Rowan

Upon receiving the award, Brother Rowan remarked, "I consider such success as I've enjoyed to be largely due to luck. One of the greatest pieces of luck I have ever had, however, was to join Delta Upsilon." In closing his inspiring acceptance, Brother Rowan told the story of how he could have chosen to donate his financial resources to many other educational institutions, but instead chose Glassboro State College because it would have the greatest impact.

With the story he offered this advice for all members of Delta Upsilon, "In everything you do; in every endeavor you tackle; find a way to make a difference."

Coventry President Reed E.

Mia~apter The fall 2003 semester was an exciting one for the Miami Chapter. Following its success at the 2003 Leadership Institute, the chapter celebrated Brian Sadnd's selection as senator for Miami's Associated Student Government. Only three fraternity men are chosen each year to be senators and the DU brothers are proud to have one of their own to demonstrate his great leadership.

This year, after many years of doing the same philanthropy, the chapter chose to create a new event - "DU Days" - in conjunction with Alpha Phi Alpha. It was the first time at Miami that a fraternity under the IFC had worked with another fraternity

Michigan Tec~haPter Some well-deserved recognition came from Darrell J. Guitar, President of the Houghton Business Association following DU's participation in the spring 2003 downtown clean-up. "MTU's Delta Upsilon Fraternity swept, scooped, and hosed off the downtown sidewalks and streets, making them far cleaner." Guitar continued in the editorial that appeared in the Mining Gazette,"A very special 'thank you' goes to the crew from the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. These guys got up early and worked hard and they appeared to be happy to help. We appreciate their efforts. We simply couldn't have accomplished what we did without them."

under the NPHC. DU Days consisted of booths with carnival-type gaming activities operated by 15 different sororities. Activities included games from a pie throwing contest to bobbing for apples. Several food vendors from uptown establishments set up in the food court area. The event was capped off with a two-hour series of competitions involving several track and field type races, as well as fun activities

All of the sororities on campus were invited to field teams in the competitions and freshmen were encouraged to participate. Over $3,000 from more than 57 sponsors was donated to the March of Dimes and the Oxford Community Crisis Center. Plans are already being made for next year's event.

Each year Miami holds an event in September called Greek Week, which consists of approximately 10 days of competitions and events between other fraternities and sororities on campus.

This year DU made dramatic improvements, moving up to finish 8th out of 22 fraternities, up from 14th place in 2002 and 17th place in 200 I. Key points came from DU's championship broomball team and also strong showings from our volleyball, soccer, and ultimate Frisbee teams.

Board Treasurer Puneet Vedi '96 for all of their ha rd work and dedication in finding the property and in negotiating a lease for the undergraduate chapter.

The undergraduate members are excited about the upgrade in facilities and hope to keep building the Minnesota Chapter into one of the premier chapters internationally. With the continued dedication of the undergraduate chapter and alumni such as Brothers Kahn and Vedi , the chapter will surely continue to prosper.

Annual Financial Report by the Treasurer elta Upsilon completed its 2002-03 fiscal year in a strong financial position with net assets of $2.24 million , including cash and equivalents of $346,000.

For the year, net assets declined by approximately $11 ,000 as operating costs exceeded available revenues. This deficit included one-time expenses associated with the transition of the executive director, which if excluded, would have resulted in a surplus for the year. This improved financial performance versus the results from last year is primarily attributable to stabilized membership numbers, reduced operating expenses and favorable returns in the Permanent Trust Fund.

D

The Permanent Trust Fund experienced a gain of $131 ,000 this past year, or just over 8% on beginning net assets. For comparison purposes the widely watched S&P 500 stock index was up just 0.3 % over the same period. The fund continues to be managed by Brother Maury Mandel , Chicago '55, and we thank him for his continued service to our Fraternity.

This past January, Brother Jeff Fuhrman, North ern Iowa '94, assumed the helm as Executive Director. Brother Fuhrman, whose background includes several years of service with the public accounting firm of PriceWaterhouseCoopers, has effectively balanced excellence in programming with fiscal responsibility. The chapter services team is focused on providing quality visits and resources to our 80 chapters.

Investment in Building Better Men The core purpose of Delta Upsilon is Building Better Men. In support of this purpose, our professional staff continues to execute exciting programming that meets the challenge of developing leaders within Delta Upsilon for the 21st Century.

Programming dollars per undergraduate member were $293 in fiscal 2002-03 . Undergraduate member fees as well as chapter based conference assessments cover only a portion of

these costs. During the past year grants of $111 ,000 from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation as well $91 ,000 from the Permanent Trust Fund were used to subsidize programming costs.

Funding Programming Growth To support Building Better Men at our chapters, revenue growth is essential to cover the cost of our membership education programming. Revenue growth has come and will continue to come from three sources: 1) Undergraduate Fees - in 2002-03, individual member fees were held at $100 per man per year. The Undergraduate Advisory Board is currently studying our fee structure for fiscal 2003-04 and will likely propose a fee increase to support chapter-centered programming support. Future revenue growth will come from efforts to increase average chapter size. Research shows that chapters must maintain an average membership size of 40 men to maintain financial viability. I encourage all alumni to help your chapters meet the challenge of expanding membership.

2) Permanent Trust Fund - this fund with assets of $1.6 million , provides additional support to the Fraternity's operations. During 2002-03, $91 ,000 was transferred from the Permanent Trust Fund to the General Operating Fund of the Fraternity for educational programming. It is the policy of the Board of Directors to restrict withdrawals from the Permanent Trust Fund to 7% of year-end assets. This policy ensures that the Fund will continue to support the Fraternity in years to come.

3) Alumni support in the form of grants from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation - Grants for the upcoming year are expected to be at least $110,000. The Fraternity is very grateful for the support of the Foundation in supporting the educational initiatives of the Fraternity. We are looking

Happy Founders Day Messages on DU's 169th!

"May you take this day and reflect on who you will be as a person and a brother. Consider who went before you and the roads that they took to become who they were. Before I left, during my hurried initiation. I saw a feat like none other.. .1 will never forget that night. The outpouring of support and the effort that people took to ensure that people who were close to me outside DU were there. Our founders would be beyond proud.That was the biggest display of brotherhood that I will ever experience. You are all my brothers and my closest friends. I will be home on leave in a month and can't wait to see you all,You will never know how much you will miss the house until it's not there."

Specialist James M. Dexter, Western Illinois '02 US Army Military Police Team Leader Joker 2C

"What a great day to celebrate and remember the founding of our beloved Fraternity. Delta Upsilon has brought all of us together in a bond of brotherhood founded upon the principles of Friendship. Character. Culture. and Justice.

Dikaia Upotheke!

"I ask that all of you take the time today to reflect on your experience and re-commit yourselves to the very principles that guide our daily lives. The vows, once taken, are irrevocable.

"We are challenged daily as to the relevance of fraternities on college campuses.

We have fallen into a time where "going back to the basics" and understanding the true meaning of fraternity is ever increasingly important.

Concepts of justice, honesty, culture, integrity, friendship, and character are more important today than ever.We have the ability to impact students lives in ways that our Ritual perfectly describes - if we only choose to use it to our advantage.
