St. Anthony HallAlumni Association of VirginiaSummer 2018 halluva.com

Brothers and Sisters and Siblings All,

On behalf of the Upsilon Chapter of St. Anthony Hall, I am pleased to report that we are currently thriving on the Grounds of the University of Virginia. This year has been marked by change in the community following the events in Charlottesville on August 11 and 12. Naturally, these events shocked and disturbed our University and Chapter. However, our chapter has remained focused on progress, along with the rest of the Greek community through this year. Ultimately, I believe our chapter has endured, progressed, and made the best of these times, while learning throughout the process.

As for our brotherhood, we finished the year with 79 active brothers, after adding a great class of 20 new members. These new members are great brothers and friends, and stem from all over the United States and the world. The new members are from New Jersey, California, New York, Nevada, England, Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, and of course Virginia. We were especially pleased to welcome in multiple legacies. This included four members whose fathers were in the Hall, one of which also had a grandfather in the Hall, one nephew of a Hallie, and two who had older brothers in the Hall. It was a true pleasure to host many of these older family members at our initiation this spring. These new members were not invited to join the Hall because of their family members, but rather their character. Though my time with them has been short, their impact is already noticeable as many have already shared their unique stories and viewpoints through various “literary duties”.

Our goal and vision at the beginning of each year was to position our brotherhood to grow through times of discord and adversity, as well as during times of peace and smooth sailing. We also sought to approach our philanthropy, recruitment, and rituals with the same vigor that we devote to our time and relationships together. Currently, we are closer and more confident in one another as our brotherhood looks to the future.

Alumni Relationship The Upsilon chapter continues to have the fervent support of our Alumni Association. Alumni President Noah Greenbaum, Treasurer Austin Holbrook, and other involved alumni, such as Ned Parrish and Danny Van Clief, regularly visit UVA and check in on the Hall. It is not unusual for the local alumni community to show up during tailgates, or

GC Spring 2018 Upsilon Chapter Reportinvite undergraduate members out to lunch during the week. As such, their commitment to us is apparent at Upsilon. This semester in particular, the alumni have been helpful through their contributions to improving the Hall. Donations have gone to adding historical pictures to the walls of the Long Room, obtaining a new Moose mount, new robes, and other work on the house. For the help, I would especially like to thank: Ron Cain, Chris and Gresham Walmsley, Gary Wunderlich, Porter Schutt, Storey Charbonnet, Peter Paige, and Lyons Brown.

Our relationship with the Upsilon Alumni Association remains strong and as always we enjoyed our trip to the Commonwealth Club in Richmond. To our alumni, you are

always welcome in Charlottesville.

This year was also unique as we hosted the GC meeting in Charlottesville this winter. We are extremely thankful to all that made the amazing weekend possible. We were pleased to get to meet more members from other chapters and strengthen those ties. Since, then we also had the pleasure of hosting Brother Adam Levinson from the Alpha Chapter at Columbia to discuss his post college life and adventures in the Middle East. In that light, we would love to host other guest speakers, so please reach out

if any of you all are interested.

Administration Relationship We maintain another strong relationship with UVA’s administration as well. Upsilon has executives serving all self-governing bodies of the Inter-Fraternity Council as well as the Inter-Fraternity Council Judiciary Committee and University Judiciary Committee. As such, these officers and the Upsilon chapter maintain a healthy relationship with Dean Hal Turner of the Office of Fraternity Affairs and with other staff within the department.

PhilanthropyOn Saturday April 14, the Upsilon chapter hosted its 36th Annual Billy Hill Memorial event. This event is meant to honor William Maury Hill Jr. ’74. The proceeds of the event were donated to the American Heart Association. We hosted a boys and girls relay race, which were run by Hall brothers and other members of the UVA community. The boys race was won by Hall brothers Jack Claiborne, Josh Clements, Austin Anderson, and Ford Beazley. With the addition of generous alumni donations, we exceeded our initial fundraising goal of $2,500. Overall, the event went really well and we did a great job fundraising for an important cause.

Athletic AchievementsAs of late, our chapter has especially had some noteworthy achievements in University Athletics. In my four years, we have always won the intramural football championship. We have also claimed victory in indoor soccer, in addition to the highly-touted innertube water polo championship this year. Due to our successes on the field, we have received the IFC award for intramural excellence. We also have many brothers who play on UVA teams beside the intramural league. Brother Taylor Swindell was on the UVA club lacrosse team that won a national championship and Brother Jefferson Dockter plays on the UVA tennis team. Lastly, Brother Lester Coleman is the starting punter for the UVA football team, and was named to 2nd all-ACC this past fall.

Looking Ahead This May we said goodbye to 23 members at this year’s graduation, including myself. This is a bittersweet time but nonetheless I know the Hall will continue to thrive because it is in great hands. Overall, the Upsilon Chapter has never looked better in my time at UVA. There is something different about Hall brothers; our bond is noticeable on Grounds and our emphasis on what matters most sets us apart. As a result, first-years desire to be in the Hall and we are committed to finding young men that will give back, just as so many current and former brothers did and continue to do. For these reasons and more, the Upsilon chapter is well suited to prosper through 2018 and beyond.

Please never hesitate to contact us if you are ever in Charlottesville, as we’d love to have you come by the house or as a guest for a Brother’s Night Wednesday evening.
