A Call To Come

As You Are

Where You Are

Brothers, I’m trying something new. This platform is about bridging the communication gap between our younger and older Brothers. My goal is to connect our legacies while maintaining our theme for this fiscal year “Think Big, Be Big, no ideals are left behind”. The intent is to:

Strengthen communications, preserve our history

Make sure every brother feels seen, valued, and involved

I appreciate you taking part as we build this together.

LEGACY ENDOWMENT L-80

We are $3,500.00 away from our goal of $50,000.00 for our Legacy Endowment. The L-80 campaign is the final leg to reach this goal. At the beginning of 2026, we needed $4,000.00 to complete our goal. The L-80 plan was to get 80 Brothers to contribute $50.00 (or more) to reach our 50,000 goal. As of this reporting we are $3,500.00 shot. We need 70 more Brothers to step up; Let’s finish this fight the Alpha Up way, NUPE STRONG, Leaders of the yard.
