Sustaining the Upsilon Chapter. Supporting the Brotherhood.
UAA campaigns to support the men who live in the house today while preserving the chapter for generations to come. Our initiatives focus on tangible needs that reinforce the chapter’s stability, member experience, and long-term vitality.
Shelter Renovation Fund 2026
The Shelter Renovation Fund supports gifts that improve and modernize the house for current and future brothers. These upgrades create spaces that promote brotherhood, community, and pride in Upsilon. This year we’re raising funds to bring a full size golf simulator to the shelter. While it would be a great stress reliever in between classes (and AWE events) the simulator is also a powerful recruitment tool, giving prospective members another reason to walk through our doors and see Upsilon as a place where brotherhood and modern living come together.
Goal: $3,300
The Brotherhood Fund
The Brotherhood Fund’s goal is to raise money to subsidize house bills for newly initiated brothers living in the shelter. This fundraising campaign aims to raise funds to defray 25% of the year-one house bill for each new member.
Thanks to the Alumni’s incredible generosity the UAA raised $58,776 in 2025—well past our target. The UAA disbursed $20,000 of this fund to the first 16 brothers for the Spring 2026 semester. We’ll be disbursing another $20,000 for the Fall 2026 semester. This is an evergreen campaign! The house needs our support to continue the sustained reactivation of the Upsilon brotherhood.
House Jumpstart Fund
The House Jumpstart Fund supports the new brothers’ move into the shelter by providing essential items that make the house functional from day one. Contributions go toward outfitting the kitchen and common areas with basics like cookware, utensils, cleaning supplies, neo letters, and shared equipment. Let’s help the brand new Actives by providing a foundation for safe meals, successful events, and a comfortable living environment for every brother who calls the house home. Goal: $4,500 [ACHIEVED!! THANK YOU BROTHERS!]
The Shelter Renovation Fund supports projects that improve and modernize the house for current and future brothers. These upgrades create safer, more functional spaces that promote brotherhood, community, and pride in Upsilon. Our first project focuses on renovating the weight room to give brothers a high-quality fitness space that supports healthy habits and help recruit potential new members by showing the supportive environment our shelter provides. Goal: $3,000 [ACHIEVED!! THANK YOU BROTHERS!]
