2019 Award Recipients
Congratulations to all of DU's award recipients from the 2019 Leadership Institute!
July 31, 2019 - The Leadership Institute is Delta Upsilon's annual celebration of brotherhood. At LI, Fraternity business is conducted through the Undergraduate Convention and Assembly of Trustees, and educational sessions are hosted for undergraduates and alumni. It is also DU's opportunity to recognize the best and brightest chapters and individuals from the last year.
The highlight of the Leadership Institute is the announcement of the seven Sweepstakes Finalists and Sweepstakes Trophy recipient.
