Donor Voices by the decade
Since 1949, the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation has been serving Delta Upsilon brothers and advancing the Fraternity's mission of Building Better Men. From tuition scholarships to funding the award-winning educational programs DU offers, the Educational Foundation and its donors continue to make a lasting impact on generations of Delta Upsilon men.
"I hope all alumni and donors know that the legacy they have left continues to have an impact on the next and future generations."
Will Gerew, Rochester '23
“I give back to Delta Upsilon because the mission and brotherhood continues past graduation. Through my experience, the leadership and financial support from alumni was equally important to my growth as an undergraduate, so I try to support the next generation.”
Peter Haslag, Arizona State ’10
“I give back to DUEF because as an undergraduate I benefited from the scholarships (to attend Leadership Institute and Presidents Academy), and I want other undergraduates to have the same experiences that afforded me the opportunities to network and be successful in life!”
Hans Jorgensen, San Jose '07
“Some of my most rewarding experiences and lifelong friendships formed during my four years as a DU at Miami University. These have continued on through weddings, ski trips together, and most recently sharing our experiences sending our kids off to college during the COVID pandemic. I've consistently given to the DUEF so other young men can have this same opportunity that I had to build friendships that will last a lifetime.”
Daniel DeMania, Miami ’96
“I give back to the Fraternity because DU provided me with immense opportunities to learn to lead. DU offered me an example of how people of all backgrounds are welcome without judgement, and I want the undergraduates of today to have that same comforting experience.”
Chris Brewster, Colorado ’89
“I have made a donation to DU for many years as a way to pay back for all that the Fraternity did for me. I met lots of interesting brothers from all over the state of Texas. Being a member of a fraternity enriched my undergraduate experience in many ways.”
John Dunlap, Texas ’73
“My DU experience has greatly influenced my life, and I wanted to give back to continue the tradition.”
John Ehrlich, Missouri ’67
“I am proud of my support of the DU Educational Foundation over the past 50 years. Delta Upsilon has provided me with a life-changing experience through undergraduate associations and lifelong friendships ever since. It is highly gratifying to see the tradition of developing new leaders continue from the Fraternity’s efforts, and I’m glad to support the work DU continues to do.”
Maury Mandel, Chicago ’55
