Winter 2026 Delta Upsilon Quarterly 

The Alberta Chapter of Delta Upsilon celebrated its 90th anniversary the weekend of Sept. 25-27 in Edmonton, Alberta. More than 225 Alberta DUs from around the world attended. A highlight of the weekend was a banquet held Saturday evening. NY1 News anchor Pat Kiernan, Alberta ’90, served as the keynote speaker.

Several recognitions took place during the banquet. A tribute was played for Dr. Allan Warrack, Alberta ’61, for his contributions at both the chapter and international level. He has served as chapter advisor and mentor for Alberta for many years, served on both the International Fraternity Board of Directors and Educational Foundation Board of Trustees, and been a member of the International Headquarters staff.

Four other brothers were also honored with a Delta Upsilon Key Leader Award. This award recognizes a volunteer for their dedication to Delta Upsilon at the local, regional or international level. The intent is to recognize individuals who have the best interests of DU at heart, and who understand the requirements and expectations of a DU chapter and an effective DU leader.

Key Leader Award recipients include Herb Reynolds, Alberta ’65, who was instrumental in the support of the Calgary Chapter during its existence and provided the $200,000 start to the DU Building Better Men for the Global Society Fund that provides more than $15,000 in DU scholarships at the University of Alberta. Myles Palmer, Alberta ’74, was key contributor in the chapter’s multi-year search for a new house in the 1960s. Hilliard MacBeth, Alberta ’70, was another critical player in that chapter house search and financing. He also led the DU Canadian Foundation for many years, which provided tax receipts for donations made in Canada. Finally, Craig Boyer, Alberta ’87, has served as the long-time volunteer legal counsel for DUBS.

The anniversary weekend also included a Friday evening informal stag at Sutton Place, campus and chapter house tours, scholarship presentations, Sunday brunch, and updates to the chapter history project.
