Brothers,
Thank you to everyone who has supported our Grand Prix effort so far! We are over halfway to our goal of $10,000 to help DU reclaim its legacy as founders of this historic race.
The undergraduates continue to work hard to build on last year's success—can we count on your support to help them bring home the trophy this year?

Brothers,
For the first time in over a decade, Purdue DU proudly competed in the 68th Purdue Grand
Prix in 2025! Against all odds and with incredible dedication by the entire chapter, we placed 17th out of 77 racers and 3rd among Greek organizations! This was a big achievement for the house and provided a lot of additional visibility on campus.
As founders of Purdue Grand Prix, our team has big goals for this year's race as we work to re-establish our legacy with the event. The undergraduates have been working tirelessly, investing in new technology and building a brand new workshop to help take DU's Larry Miller Racing Team to the next level.
We have raised $4,000 thus far and have a goal of $10,000 to help support the cart. Please consider making a gift as we make another run to take home the trophy this year. Hail DU! and Boiler Up!

Purdue DU Brothers, Family and Friends:
We need your help! (Well, technically the Chapter House needs you.) A summer work session is taking place on Saturday, June 21. From cleaning to organizing and attacking a few projects, the plan is to make progress on preparing the house for next fall when 62 undergrads move back in.
This is a great way to Give Back to Purdue DU with your investment of sweat equity. Come for the day or come for a few hours, whatever you can manage. If you have tools (exterior and interior), bring those too. And if you have some expertise - painting, general repairs, electrical, landscaping, etc. - let us know and we'll assign you tasks when you arrive.
Start time is 9:00 and we'll likely stop work by 4:00. Beverages and lunch will be provided.
Come join the party and help us keep our Purdue DU Chapter facility looking its best and ready for a full house this fall! We'll be awarding prizes to the decade with the highest representation of alumni in attendance. So don't miss out!
Sincerely,
Alumni Board of Directors
