The actives spruced up the Shelter ahead of Fall semester and are currently busy rushing face and hosting potential new members up at the house. Saturday dinners are in full swing and are a major draw for rushees! The kitchen is always busy, and the actives continue to experiment with new recipes and optimize the space for maximum efficiency! The actives were sporting their new rush shirts during freshmen move-in at the start of the semester. Also, the trials and tribulations of the dessert waiter continue... The actives have several rush events planned for the up coming weeks, some classics, and some new ideas. At the conclusion of the Fall rush period the actives can give out bids to upperclassmen (sophomores and higher). Freshmen can still attend Fall rush events but will have to wait until Spring semester to formally receive bids. Lastly, the actives are already preparing and getting psyched for Alumni Weekend which is right around the corner!! Alumni Weekend '26: 10/9 - 10/11 Brothers, get psyched for a momentous Fall Alumni Weekend to celebrate the burgeoning chapter.  Come see how well the actives have settled into the chapter house at 133 Sunset Terrace!!

The UAA recently rolled out our new UAA Giving Hub! The giving hub is the place to donate and keep up to date on the status of all fundraising drives the UAA is running. The UAA is in constant communication with the Actives Executive Board and the House Corporation to ensure our efforts are always aligned with the needs of the chapter. As a result of this collaboration we were able to identify two pressing needs: The House Jumpstart Fund to help the new actives with critical operational items to run the house, and the Shelter Renovation Fund. The Shelter Renovation fund first focus was to fund renovation of the MR Weight Room. We're happy to report that both fundraising goals this past spring semester were achieved!  Navigate to the UAA Giving Hub for more details. Check back with the giving hub periodically for updates on the projects as they progress. Our evergreen Brotherhood Fund needs your support! College is expensive. Restarting a chapter is hard! Please help these young men defray housing costs so they can focus on their education and maintaining the Upsilon tradition with successful recruitment. The UAA remains committed to defraying the cost of all new members living in the shelter. We need you to keep that commitment. Donate today! Matthew Donahue   ■   William Scarbrough   ■   Charles D.
