Summer 2025 Delta Upsilon Quarterly

President's Club Donors drive the Annual Loyalty Fund

Delta Upsilon’s Annual Loyalty Fund is supported by donations of all sizes, and each year, donors are recognized with membership in various Annual Giving Clubs based on their giving level. The goal of these Giving Clubs is to recognize donors and encourage them to aspire for membership in higher Annual Giving Clubs in the future.

Today, the DUEF features 14 Annual Giving Clubs, and the President's Club is the Foundation's oldest and foremost Club. Established in the early 1970s by then Fraternity President W. D. Watkins, North Carolina '27, the President's Club recognized those giving at least $100 to the DUEF annually. Over time, the annual giving threshold of the President’s Club increased to $125 in 1992, then $200 in 1998, and up to $500 in 2014. Starting in the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the President’s Club will be upgraded to recognize donors who give $1,000 or more to the DUEF.

Along with an increased giving threshold, membership in the President’s Club will now come with additional benefits.

  • A special President's Club lapel pin when reaching major milestones in the Club each year.
  • Invitations to special President’s Club Receptions
  • Invitations to other virtual or in-person Delta Upsilon events
  • Recognition in the DU Quarterly magazine
  • Advanced communication and updates from DU leadership
  • More! 
2024-2025 President's Club

During the 2024-2025 DUEF fiscal year, a record 389 donors qualified for membership in the President’s Club or higher Annual Giving Clubs, and these donors provided 96 percent of all dollars received by the DUEF. Thanks to the dedication of these donors, the Foundation has been able to provide increased educational programming support to DU chapters and brothers.

Be on the lookout for Delta Upsilon’s 2024-2025 annual report that will hit mailboxes in late October for a list of 2024-2025 President’s Club members and more information.

*During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, the giving threshold for the President’s Club was $500 or more. 

Inaugural President's Club Reception held at LI 2025

An inaugural President’s Club Reception was held July 25 during the 2025 Leadership Institute in Louisville, Kentucky. During this reception, more than 50 donors and guests met with Fraternity and Foundation leaders prior to the LI Welcome Dinner. Giving a nod to LI’s host city, the event featured a bourbon tasting, and each guest received an engraved Delta Upsilon cocktail glass.
