Global Service Initiative
The Delta Upsilon Global Service Initiative offers members a unique opportunity to engage in direct service, while uniting Delta Upsilon competencies and principles with the customs and cultures of the Negril, Jamaica community and within our own country. In 2014, three trips went to Jamaica, while one trip served in Washington, D.C. Members travel to, study in, and work with this community where social and economic conditions are substandard.
During the global experience, members engage in a variety of cultural, educational, recreational and reflective activities. Participants will roll up their sleeves to build or rebuild in areas of need, teach literacy skills to children and engage in dialogue of social justice with other Delta Upsilon members.
To this date, the Missouri Chapter has had two brothers participate in the Global Service Initiative. Brother Lee Gorski ’12 attended one of the first trips to Negril, Jamaica, Brother Quinten Campbell ’16 attended the domestic trip to Washington, D.C. this past March, and Brother Sam Baker ’16 plans on going to Negril trip this summer.
