DU Duck Call Fall 2015 Final
The Duck Call A Publication of Delta Upsilon at the University of Missouri • Fall 2015 A New Era Begins—Your Support Is Still Needed MEMBER MOVE-IN On Friday, August 20, less than 14 months after demolition of the old chapter house, the undergraduate members moved into our fantastic new facility. Seven of the nine alumni board members were in attendance to help facilitate the process. oversight, and alumni engagement. Following are some of the things we have put in place to fundamentally upgrade our operating model. REORGANIZATION PLAN The chapter has been in reorganization status since November of last year. A committee of Delta Upsilon International Fraternity (DUIF) staff members is working actively with the alumni and undergraduates to revamp much of our programming and operating procedures. The chapter will continue to operate in that manner until such time as DUIF feels it is capable of operating successfully on its own. Until that time, the chapter house will be alcohol-free for all members and guests, including alumni. CONSTRUCTION While the bulk of the construction is complete, there are a number of items that will be completed this fall. Most notably, that includes some finish work related to the first floor bedrooms, the alumni room, the lounge (brother room), and the exterior landscaping. FUNDRAISING We are currently less than $65,000 away from our goal of $3 million. Now is the time to make a final push to achieve that objective. Thank you to all of the donors listed on pages 2-3. If you have not made a pledge yet, we urge you to do so if at all possible. Please send in your pledge today or go to www.missouridu.com to access our online giving site. We invite you to stop by the house to see the finished product for yourself! PROGRAMMING AND OVERSIGHT From the start of the capital campaign, we have stressed that this effort is about more than bricks and mortar. To position the chapter for long-term success, we must also seek to strengthen our programming, chapter INSIDE: Thank You, Loyal Alumni pg. 2-3 Alumnus Spotlight pg. 3 HOUSE DIRECTOR Martin Cram was recently named the fulltime director of chapter programming and facility management.

SECURITY PROGRAM The new facility will have a variety of new security features, including fingerprint access and video monitors. We have also contracted with off-duty police officers to provide additional security on weekends, football games, etc. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM We have contracted with Community Association Management to provide a comprehensive property management solution for the chapter. Services include cleaning of common areas in the chapter house, assistance with move-in/move-out procedures, security deposit assessments, etc. ASSOCIATE MEMBER HOUSING All associate members, primarily freshmen, will be required to live in the residence halls for at least one semester. Longer term, we expect that to be for a period of one full year. After that, members will be expected to live in the house through their junior year. We believe this model will be beneficial to both the new members and those living in the chapter house. We have a great new facility and are putting programs in place to make sure the chapter is positioned for long-term success. We hope you can drop by for a tour of the chapter house at an upcoming home football game, and we look forward to the official dedication in the spring. Thank you for your support! Fraternally, E.

It really enhanced my college experience.” From there on out, he fondly recalls many great times, ranging from football game days to DU social events. One memory in particular was with Randy Farmer ’79. He was in many of Chuck’s classes and even helped spark his interest in dental school. “He was a good leader and well respected by all of the brothers,” Chuck says. Alongside Randy, all men of DU and the organization truly prepared him for life after the University of Missouri. Chuck and his wife, Robyn. “Living with a diverse group of guys and learning to balance academics with social events were so important in the maturation process,” Chuck says. “To this day, I use skills in my practice I developed in learning to get along with everyone.” Because of his wonderful experience fostered at the Missouri Chapter, he now serves as the chapter advisor, and thoroughly enjoys his time spent with DU brothers. “My favorite part of chapter advisor is getting to personally know the members,” Chuck says. “I look and listen, and realize things aren’t all that different from when I was in college.” Chuck also feels passionate about supporting the Building Our Next 100 Years campaign. “The previous structure had long been overdue for a replacement,” Chuck says. “I think it’s important for the new guys to have the best living environment possible so they can have the positive experiences I had as a member of DU.” He encourages all alumni to contribute something to the campaign—whether it is through a donation or by volunteering your time. “Even a visit to the house to meet and encourage younger brothers is beneficial. They are all solid young men with a bright future.” Chuck and his wife, Robyn, live in Columbia, Mo. They have four daughters: Jennifer, Jessica, Kennedy, and Lauren. E-mail: chuck496@aol.com.
