Lighted DU Sign

Annual Loyalty Fund Area of Greatest Need

The Annual Loyalty Fund is our most critical need each year, and your gift will ensure the Foundation can continue Building Better Men across North America. The Presidents Academy, local chapter Building Better Men Retreats, and the Regional Leadership Academies are just a few ways your gift will be put to immediate use.
 

President's Club

Join the 2025-26 President's Club with a gift on Founder's Day. The President's Club is the Foundation's oldest and foremost giving club. Established in the early 1970s by then-Fraternity President W. D. Watkins, North Carolina '27, the President's Club recognizes those giving leaders of the DUEF who have given a total of $1,000 or more in a fiscal year through the annual appeal.
 

Chapter Legacy Plans

Chapter Legacy Plans offer a powerful way to invest in the long-term success of individual chapters and the young men who call them home. By contributing to a Chapter Legacy Plan, you help endow educational programming, leadership development, and scholarship opportunities that shape principled, purpose-driven leaders.
 

Oak Circle Undergraduate Giving Club

Each year DU undergraduates are encouraged to give back through the Oak Circle – the Foundation’s undergraduate giving program. Hundreds of undergraduates join the Oak Circle each year with a gift of $18.34 to the Oak Circle endowment, and the dollars raised are given directly back to students through scholarships to our award-winning educational programs.
 

Chapter Educational Accounts & Chapter Housing Accounts

Support a Chapter Educational Account or a Chapter Housing Account to further the local efforts of a chapter while still supporting the DU Educational Foundation.
 

Honorary and Memorial Giving

Give in honor of a brother who shaped your DU experience, or in memory of one we have lost. Parents, a gift in your son's honor is a way of saying you see the man he is becoming.
 

Why DU:
"Thank you so much for your contributions. This has made experiences like the Leadership Institute possible for me and my brothers. Seeing alumni support means the world."

- Joshua Gunn, Western Illinois '27 and 2026 McQuaid Scholarship Recipient

Why the Annual Loyalty Fund Matters

The Annual Loyalty Fund is the cornerstone of Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation’s yearly impact. It fuels the programs, scholarships, and leadership experiences that define DU’s commitment to Building Better Men.

Delta Upsilon’s non-secret, non-hazing heritage is rooted in transparency and purpose. Supporting the Annual Loyalty Fund means upholding DU’s Four Founding Principles, ensuring future generations experience a modern, mission-driven fraternity, and leaving a legacy that reflects your belief in character, leadership, and lifelong brotherhood.
