The ceremony was held on October 30 at Memorial Union, and past House Director Will Fenimore '19 delivered the charge. This spring, we added 13 new associate members and officially welcomed them to the brotherhood at our pinning ceremony on February 12. Grades The chapter completed the first semester with a 3.2 chapter GPA, which was above the all- fraternity and all-male averages. I am proud of my brothers for their focus on academics and look forward to continuing to improve. Officer Elections and Leadership Programs New officer elections were held in late November. Advisory Board Chairman Jeff Kreutz '99 organized a new officer retreat in Columbia following the close of the fall semester. Last fall, I had the opportunity to travel to Indianapolis to attend the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity (DUIF) Presidents Academy and the University of Missouri's new president's program. In February, the entire executive board and other interested members (13 in total) traveled to Kansas City to participate in DUIF's Regional Leadership Academy, which is designed to help new officers understand their roles and expectations. Super Bowl Brotherhood Missouri Chapter ordered over 300 wings for a Super Bowl watch party at the chapter house. We had a blast cheering on the Chiefs and Mizzou graduate Nick Bolton to victory! Upcoming Events We will be partnering with Alpha Chi Omega during Greek Week in April. Congratulations to Will Mason '24 for being selected as blood director, one of six key leadership positions. We also look forward to welcoming family back to the house for Mom's Weekend on April 28-30. Please drop by the chapter house if you're ever in Columbia—we'd love to see you!
