Global Service Initiative

Global Service Initiative

The Delta Upsilon Global Service Initiative (GSI) offers members a unique opportunity to engage in direct service in developing nations and United States while uniting their actions with the principles of the Fraternity.
Additionally, chapters and colonies are encouraged to raise funds for GSI to support projects that brothers will complete hands-on during the immersion trip experience.  Support the Global Service Initiative by giving to the program.
