Recruitment has been off to a strong start this semester, with four bids accepted and our recent Bid Dinner giving us a chance to welcome our new members. Our recruitment efforts are not stopping there, as we are continuing to meet potential new members throughout the semester. Since freshmen are not eligible to rush until the spring, we have also sent out 19 letters of interest to freshmen we hope to further our relation with next semester. Our steward Joe (PITT '28) and his crew of four brothers have been doing a great job keeping the house fed this semester, cooking dinner six nights a week including our weekly Saturday Dinners. Their hard work has helped make meals a consistent part of life at the house and gives everyone a chance to come together and eat at 5:60 every day. yf Lance Schneider (Squeeze '28) UAA Giving Hub: New fundraising goals!! We have new fundraising drives on the 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 2026 Shelter Renovation Fund  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. The Brotherhood Fund Our evergreen Brotherhood Fund needs your support! College is expensive. Restarting a chapter is hard! 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 defray 25% of the year-one house bill for each new member.  Donate today!
