In March 2009 the Miami Chapter joined Alpha Omicron Pi to host the 60th Annual Puddle Pull, a version of tug-of-war where opposing teams dig pits for their feet and while sitting, attempt to pull a flag from the middle towards their team.
The $2,500 raised by the event was divided between the Boys and Girls Club and Alpha Omicron Pi’s philanthropy, the Juvenile Arthritis Foundation. This event was founded by Frank Dodd, Miami ‘49 and has been helping Delta Upsilon give back to the community ever since.
In November Drew Sturtevant, Miami ‘10 was elected president of the Interfraternity Council. Miami University currently supports 29 fraternity chapters and 17 sorority chapters, accounting for more than 35 perecent of the student body. Brother Sturtevant has served as the Miami Chapter president, vice president of associate member education, vice president of philanthropy (2007), and currently serves on multiple committees to better advise the University on Fraternal affairs.
