BUILDING BETTER MEN RETREATS
Building Better Men Retreats allow every chapter member to build a strong, principled brotherhood.
About Building Better Men Retreats
Building Better Men Retreats take the concept of a chapter retreat to the next level. Highly experienced Delta Upsilon staff members and volunteers facilitate a weekend-long retreat geared toward jumpstarting the chapter and charting a path to future success.
The retreat is tailored to meet specific chapter needs. This includes defining effective brotherhood within the chapter, identifying chapter priorities and creating a plan of action. Each member is given a voice in the future of the chapter through a series of activities that emphasize problem solving, innovation, vision-setting and action planning. To close the retreat, every member is asked to take ownership for the future of his chapter by making a commitment to his specific role in the creation of a better future for Delta Upsilon.
Building Better Men Retreats have gone virtual! This fall, your chapter can still take part in this valuable program through a customized virtual retreat!
