Brothers,<\/p>\n
On behalf of the Upsilon Chapter of St. Anthony Hall, it\u2019s my pleasure to share that our chapter is thriving here at the University of Virginia. We currently have 58 active brothers from all corners of the United States as well as six from the United Kingdom, representing a plethora of backgrounds and experiences. Moreover, the anticipation of welcoming a new pledge class looms on the horizon as formal rush draws to a close in just a few months.<\/p>\n
Spearheaded by Jack Finning (Engr<\/abbr> class of <\/span>\u201926)<\/strong>, our recruitment efforts aim to attract a group of individuals from across the United States and beyond\u2014young men who we know will continue to uphold the principles and legacy of St. Anthony Hall for many years to come. At the beginning of the year, we set out specific goals to focus on fostering the relationships that make our brotherhood strong. I\u2019m thrilled to report that this has been successful \u2013 whether we\u2019re celebrating milestones, standing by one another in difficult times, or simply enjoying shared moments \u2013 these experiences remind us of the enduring strength of our bonds. Through both challenges and triumphs, the Hall remains a source of unwavering camaraderie and support.<\/p>\n Philanthropy continues to be a cornerstone of our chapter, and this fall, many of our brothers have been actively involved in \u2018Movember\u2019, a cause dedicated to raising awareness and funds for men\u2019s mental health. This cause is deeply meaningful to our brotherhood, as it aligns with our commitment to supporting one another and fostering a culture of openness. On Saturday, November 16, 2024, we hosted a successful event that brought together students and community members to rally behind this important cause. Looking ahead to the spring, our philanthropy chairs, Luke Blair (Com<\/abbr> class of <\/span>\u201925)<\/strong> and Camp Hagood (Engr<\/abbr> class of <\/span>\u201925)<\/strong>, are already hard at work planning several exciting events. Among these is the Billy Hill Memorial 5k, a long-standing tradition that honors the legacy of William Maury Hill Jr. (Col<\/abbr> class of <\/span>\u201977)<\/strong> while bringing together the UVA and Charlottesville communities for a meaningful cause. With multiple philanthropy initiatives on the horizon, we are excited to continue making a positive impact on Grounds and beyond.<\/p>\n Over the past year, we have been able to further strengthen our relationship with the University and its administration. With Ben Ueltschey (Col<\/abbr> class of <\/span>\u201925)<\/strong> serving as president of the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) and Billy Kitchel (Engr<\/abbr> class of <\/span>\u201926)<\/strong> serving on the IFC governing board, our relationship with the University could not be stronger. Although there have been challenges within the Greek community and the University this year, the Upsilon chapter has been able retain a great relationship amongst administrative changes and new procedures.<\/p>\n Athletic success remains a proud tradition of our chapter, and this year has been no exception. Our brothers have continued to excel in a variety of intramural sports. While we fell just short of clinching the IM basketball championship, we are currently performing exceptionally in inner-tube water polo. We have earned the number one seed and are battling it out in the playoffs. With strong performances across the board, our brothers continue to represent the Hall with pride and a competitive spirit. We look forward to the remainder of the season and hope to bring home another championship title!<\/p>\n The Upsilon Chapter continues to thrive, I\u2019m confident to say that I\u2019ve never seen the Hall in a better place than it currently is, and it\u2019s hard not to feel optimistic about what lies ahead for us. While this semester has been amazing thus far, next semester will be incredibly memorable for us all as we celebrate the 165th Reunion in April. Our brotherhood is as strong as ever, defined by a shared commitment to camaraderie, service, and tradition. I speak for all the fourth years in saying that we want to leave the Hall in a better place than when we arrived, and I\u2019m very pleased to say that we are well on track to do that. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to myself or any member of the Upsilon chapter. We hope to see as many of you as possible in Charlottesville \u2014 our door is always open.<\/p>\n Yours in the bonds, Brothers, On behalf of the Upsilon Chapter of St. Anthony Hall, it\u2019s my pleasure to share that our chapter is thriving here at the University of Virginia.
