Fall 2025 Delta Upsilon Quarterly
recognizing our Loyal donors
Ignite The Charge Donor Wall
A new donor wall was unveiled in fall 2024 in celebration of the DUEF's successful Ignite The Charge Campaign aimed at Individual Development, Chapter Enhancement, and Fraternal Relevance & Innovation. All donors who gave more than $5,000 are recognized for their momentous contributions in raising funds for the future of our Fraternity. We hope you will come and visit the new addition.
Lifetime Giving Wall
The Foundation will forever be grateful for the DUs, parents and friends who provide gifts of time and treasure throughout their lives. The more lifelong donors committed to investing in our Building Better Men mission, the greater our Fraternity and our world will be. Thankfully, the DUEF has donors with more than $1,000,000 in lifetime giving, as well as younger brothers who have gifted $1,000 and counting. Along with recognition in the Annual Report, the Lifetime Giving Circles are on display on the Lifetime Giving Wall at the International Headquarters. This display commemorates the cumulative impact of our most loyal and generous donors and reminds future generations of the loyal DUs who came before them.
Visit www.deltau.org/annual-and-lifetime-giving for a full breakdown of how we recognize our Lifetime Giving Circles, beginning with our Circle of Loyal Brothers at over $1,000 all the way to our Dikaia Upotheke Circle at $1,000,000+ given over their lifetime.
Founders Memorial Courtyard
The Founders Memorial Courtyard stands as a lasting tribute to the DU Founders of 1834, and it is a great way for donors to etch their names in DU history. Bricks in the courtyard come with a $200 gift to the Annual Loyalty Fund, which is an investment in the educational development of today’s undergraduates.
Whether you want to add your own name to the courtyard, or want to honor/memorialize another DU brother, visitors to the International Headquarters each year see the many great DUs commemorated from our Fraternity’s history. Within the courtyard, the names of our 30 Founders are each engraved on their own brick. In the center of the courtyard is an engraved tablet with the Fraternity seal. Around that tablet, every DU chapter in history is recognized with a gray brick listing the chapter's name and founding date. Around the perimeter of the courtyard, bricks are divided into 30-brick sections, symbolizing our 30 Founders.
Visit www.deltau.org/founders-memorial-courtyard to learn more and to secure your own brick.
Consecutive Giving
The DUEF recognizes its most loyal consecutive giving donors with a star in the Honor Roll, followed by the number of consecutive years they have given starting at 25 years. A loyal group of donors continues to raise the bar at 55 consecutive years of giving, and there are more than 155 total donors who have given over 25 years.
Newest addition to 50+ Consecutive years of giving
"My DU experience has been terrific with friends old and new. I believed in our motto and Principles from the start, and they are still important, so giving back has been easy for me." - Lewis Gregory, Kansas '75
One of the Newest additions to 25+ Consecutive years of giving
"Delta Upsilon has been such a special experience in my life. I am so glad I joined over 48 years ago. I have so many great friends through DU from the chapter and internationally, too. My time on the DU International Fraternity Board was amazing. The Promotion of Friendship, The Development of Character, The Diffusion of Liberal Culture, and The Advancement of Justice are the way I live my life. So glad I can support DU with annual contributions." - Jim Simpkins, Washington State '81
