Ignite the charge campaign leadership


Campaign Chairman
E. Bruce McKinney, Missouri ’74

Bruce is a past International Fraternity President and recipient of the Distinguished Delta Upsilon Award-the Fraternity’s top honor. Bruce’s past service on the International Fraternity Board of Directors includes: Alumni Director (2004-2008); Board Treasurer (2008-2014); and President (2014-2018).

"Now more than ever, our world needs leaders committed to Friendship, Character, Culture and Justice. This campaign will develop our undergraduates, enhance our chapters and solidify our relevance as the premier experience for college men. I hope you are a part of Delta Upsilon’s next historic chapter."

Ignite The Charge Campaign Cabinet

In the fall of 2021, a volunteer Campaign Cabinet was assembled consisting of 19 talented DU Brothers across North America. The Campaign Cabinet members come with diverse chapter backgrounds, critical fundraising knowledge and an eagerness to enlist the support of others for the Ignite The Charge Campaign. The Campaign Cabinet meets regularly with other DUEF and staff leadership and will continue serving Delta Upsilon for what will be the single largest fundraising initiative in our history. Although the Fraternity has experienced significant growth and progress over the last 15 years, Delta Upsilon’s future depends on our ability to provide cutting-edge resources and initiatives to the undergraduates and local chapters we serve. Thank you to the following brothers who are providing time, talent and treasure for the future of our brotherhood.
