Activities began with a weekend retreat facilitated by DUIF staff and attended by all chapter members. The chapter developed a core covenant statement and established a list of seven programming priorities. Committees were formed around these priorities and goals/timelines were established for each. Leadership Programming DUIF hosts a President's Academy each year for new chapter presidents. The program provides leadership development and skills training to prepare presidents to effectively run a DU chapter/colony. I was honored to attend this year's session which was held January 8-11 in Indianapolis. The undergraduate executive team, along with alumni board member Terry Brady '62, attended DUIF's Regional Leadership Academy in Kansas City, February 13-15. This academy is a unique opportunity for chapter officers in a specific geographic region to attend sessions that span a wide range of topics affecting fraternity life today. It is designed as an officer training platform to provide tangible skills needed for success. Spring Recruitment Yields 17 New Brothers Recruitment for the spring new member class was a success. Seventeen new associate members participated in the pinning ceremony that was held March 9. These new members will be eligible to live in the new house next fall along with all other active members. Our model going forward will be to have all freshmen live in the dorms. DU Wins 2015 Greek Week Competition! Greek Week is a three-week period in April where Greek students participate in programs and events that celebrate the values of the office of Greek life and promote a fun environment, highlighting the talents and dedication of the Greek community to both Columbia and the University of Missouri. Greek Week benefits local and national organizations that are in need of funding. Last year, Greek Week raised over $70,000 for a variety of worthy beneficiaries. This year, the chapter was paired with Kappa Kappa Gamma and FIJI for the 2015 events. Trevor DeHart '15 served as co-director of the event, and Brian Hinck '16 and Quinten Campbell '16 served as members of the steering committee.
