The A Publication of Delta Upsilon at the University of Missouri • Fall 2024 Duck call INSIDE: PAGE 2 DU Stays on Top Calling All Alumni! Chapter Eternal PAGE 3 Welcome, New Initiates PAGE 4 "I Love It Here at Delta Upsilon!" T wo years ago, Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation announced the $6 million Ignite the Charge campaign to expand and increase educational programming for DU undergraduates across North America. The campaign came to a close on August 2 when final results were announced at the annual Leadership Institute in Atlanta. The results were unprecedented, totaling over $10.3 million in pledges! As a part of this campaign, the Missouri Chapter Legacy Plan (CLP) was created so that Missouri alumni can make tax-deductible donations for the direct benefit of Missouri Chapter undergraduates. Providing annual coaching and training is critical for strengthening the culture and sustainability of the chapter. Currently, the chapter has to fund educational programming out of yearly cash flow. The Missouri CLP is an endowment fund that will lessen the burden on the undergraduates. We are thrilled to report that nearly $250,000 has now been pledged to the CLP! As a result, nearly $10,000 in Missouri member scholarships will be available for our undergraduates to attend DUEF programming each year. While the campaign is now officially closed, you can still donate to the CLP by going to deltau.org/ITCMissouri for additional information. Fraternally, E.
