Fall Semester Begins!

Webmaster — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 19:32:43 +0000

After a long summer the fall is finally upon us. We are unbelievably excited for some of the events and great things we are trying to accomplish this semester. As has been the case for the past few years we are looking to continuously push the Fraternity to even greater heights.

I wanted to take a moment and outline some of our goals for this semester and what we, as an Executive Committee (EC), plan to do to improve the chapter for the future:

We will be hosting Former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young at the Ferst Center on October 9th. We are looking to make this a huge success and get as many people out there as possible. There will be more details coming soon so stay tuned!
1st in Homecoming. Based off our recent success in Greek Week (2nd and 3rd place the past two years, respectively) we are looking to translate that energy and enthusiasm to Homecoming. Make sure to join us!
Establishing the foundation for the next 5 years. We, as an EC, have constantly been talking about how to push the chapter forward for the next 5 years and ensure Delta Upsilon is not only is a great fraternity but also one that is an example of what a fraternity should look like in the 21st century.
Encourage more Alumni mentorship. We’ve been in constant contact with our alumni board and are looking to really improve our relationship between our alumni and undergraduates. Already, we have received significant help and support as we continue to improve.
Improve Alumni Tailgates. Last Fall we had an amazing turnout from our alumni and we are looking to make it even bigger and better this semester. Make sure to join us at the House this football season!
Enhance the Boys & Girls Club Flag Football Tournament. Last year, our event was a huge success and we are looking to make it even better this semester. We will be trying to get sponsorships and donate the money to a scholarship to help encourage low-income students to come to Georgia Tech.

Our chapter has come a long way in a few short years and we are constantly looking to improve ourselves and our members. One of our biggest initiatives for this semester is to make sure to update all of our alumni, friends, and family on what we are doing so stay tuned for all of the exciting things coming up this semester!

Fraternally,

Neil Desai

Fall Recruitment: 16 New Associate Members

Webmaster — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 19:24:35 +0000

The Georgia Tech chapter of Delta Upsilon extends our warmest congratulations to our new pledge class of Fall 2011! This associate member class has started off great with 16 of Georgia Tech’s finest. This year’s rush week culminated multiple months of campus-wide recruitment efforts and showed what happens when DU sets its mind on a goal and works toward it. With extensive help from Joey Weaver (class of Spring 2009) and Austin Steed (Fall 2007), the fraternity held exciting rush events including an MMA exhibition match, casino night and parents’ day. We were also extremely happy to see several of our alumni stop by during rush and offer their wisdom and support. The associate members will now begin their eight week process on the road to initiation under the guidance of VP of Member Education, Bryan Cantwell (Spring 2008). We hope you have a chance to stop by over the next few months, meet the associate member class and see what’s going on at Delta Upsilon!

Below are the members of the fall 2011 pledge class, and thanks again to everyone involved:
