How can a student group create lasting impact in their community?

Members of Delta Upsilon at the University of Alberta are taking a new approach to fraternity life by centering service, transparency, and community involvement. Their chapter has launched the Building Better Futures Fund, an endowment through Edmonton Community Foundation that will support Edmonton’s Food Bank for years to come.

In this episode, Samuel Stratton and Tyler Chiponski share how they got involved with Delta Upsilon, why giving back has become a core part of their chapter culture, and how a simple fundraising idea grew into a long term commitment to their community.
