On Saturday April 26th Upsilon alumni gathered in Troy to perform and witness the colony chapter initiation ritual ceremony. This ceremony marks the end of the colony pledge program officially making the colony members newly minted Delta Tau Delta National fraternity brothers!!! The ceremony was followed by a celebratory banquet dinner during which the Doc Medicus Scholarship award was announced, along with several speeches delivered by psyched alumni and new members. It has been a long road to get to this point and I want to recognize the incredible work our undergraduate and alumni members have accomplished this year. yf Jeffery Andritz (Fluke '03) - Chapter Advisor Click here to see more pictures from the event!! Delts about Delts: Chapter Petition Presentation On April 17th we held our 6th "Delts about Delts" UAA webinar series during which Tyler Kalemba (Goonch ‘27) presented the colony chapter petition document. The Upsilon Colony members have been hard at work this semester assembling their colony petition, which has been submitted to Delts National. This petition covers the basic structure of the undergraduate chapter, their bylaws, budget, and all programming. Check out the webinar recording!!! Check out complete petition PDF doc!!! Pie-A-Delt Day: Colony Philanthropy Event This past semester the Upsilon Colony Members held 3 philanthropy events helping to raise funds for two local non-profits. For the "Pie-A-Delt" event it was as simple as buying a case of whipped cream bottles and tabling on campus, and then cajoling any student passing by to make a donation before throwing a plate of whipped cream at whichever brother they chose. The event was a success, and good times were had by all!! Upcoming Events Late June: "Delts about Delts" We will provide updates on the new Sunset Terrace Plan, successful recruitment results, fundraising goals, and general Q&A. (Registration to follow once date/time finalized with speakers) Oct. 10th - 12th: Alumni Weekend We're planning a blowout weekend to welcome the super-psyched class of new members and hang out face!
