ATO Remains Active with
Philanthropic Efforts
During the 2018-19 school year, we raised more
than $25,000 from our various philanthropy
events. We hosted philanthropy events big and
small, such as cohosting a donuts and coffee sale
on campus to Desserts After Dark with Alpha
Chi Omega. We have numerous events planned
for the remainder of the fall semester, including
our new signature event, ATΩ Harvest.
Strength in Recruitment Numbers
Gamma Upsilon was thrilled to welcome 16
new members last spring, the most of any
fraternity on campus. We followed that up this
fall by adding 35 more new members. They
have all exemplified great character and have
already made a tremendous impact at ISU. For
example, Jeremiah Uju '19 and Luke Larsen
'19 attended Building Up Brothers, a Sexual
Assault Prevention seminar held by the Iowa
State Interfraternity Council, on September 21.
A Busy, But Fun October
On October 11-12, our chapter hosted a new
pilot program with ATΩ National that focused
on elevating the individual member to in turn
elevate the chapter. Gamma Upsilon was one
of two chapters selected to host this pilot
program, which shows the level of respect and
admiration that we've earned from the national
fraternity. We rounded out the month by having
a blast during Homecoming week with Delta
Gamma and Lambda Chi Alpha.
Abundance of Accolades for ATΩ
Last semester, Chris Diaguila '17 was named
the Iowa State IFC President of the Year for
his tremendous efforts toward improving the
ISU Greek community. I have done my best to
follow Chris' example, as I was named the Iowa
State IFC Scholar of the Year. Beyond just an
individual basis, Gamma Upsilon was named the
ISU IFC Social Justice Chapter of the Year.
Members are also very involved in non-Greek
aspects of campus life. Adham Nedd-Fields '19
is the president of the ISU MMA club, Caden
Flodstrom '19 and Ben Baca '19 are active
members of the Business Council, and Michael
Carter '18 joined the University Honors Program.
Thank You, Alumni!
We couldn't be where we are today without the
endless support of our alumni. We cordially
invite all our alumni to stop by the chapter house
at any time, as we love to see our brothers. We
strive to improve upon the successes we've been
enjoying the past year!
Fraternally,
Noah Beukelman '18
