Fall ’25 Newsletter

2025 has been an incredible year for our beloved fraternity, filled with pride in our achievements and a deep appreciation for the memories made along the way. This past spring, we were privileged to welcome 21 exceptional new members into our ranks, each of whom has already demonstrated the character and dedication that have long defined our chapter. With the fall semester well underway, we look forward to continuing to host young alumni and families of current brothers, as the success of our football team has given many a reason to return to Charlottesville and 160 Madison Lane.

 

UVA SAE x Breast Cancer Awareness

Last fall, our chapter raised an incredible $9,215.85 for Hitting Cancer Below the Belt, a charity dedicated to the prevention of colorectal cancer. These funds help advance critical efforts in cancer prevention, early detection, and education, aligning with our values of service and leadership.  We are thrilled to celebrate the contributions of our brothers, family, and friends. Thank you to all who participated. We look forward to our next charitable event in October, with more details to come.

 

Virginia Epilepsy Association

Last fall, our chapter raised over $13,000 for the Virginia Epilepsy Association, the local chapter of a national organization dedicated to supporting those affected by epilepsy and advancing research toward improved treatment and awareness. This cause holds special significance for our brotherhood, as it is connected to one of our members whose family has been directly affected by the condition. The generosity of our brothers, families, and friends made this effort possible, and we are incredibly proud of the impact our chapter was able to make. We extend our sincere gratitude to all who contributed and look forward to continuing our commitment to service through our upcoming Philanthropy Week.

Brother Spotlight: Henry Campbell

As we celebrate the collective accomplishments of our brotherhood, we also aim to recognize individual brothers for their outstanding service to the fraternity. Henry, a Charlottesville native whose father, John Campbell, graduated as a Virginia Omicron in 1989, has served as our chapter’s Eminent Archon during the 2024-2025 academic year.  Henry is studying Finance and Accounting in the McIntire School of Commerce while also pursuing a minor in Data Science. A few of his many contributions as a member of Virginia Omicron include serving as rush chair, writing the Chapter’s Bylaws and updating house infrastructure. Additionally, Henry is a member of the Delta Sigma Pi Business Fraternity and plays keyboard in various bands across grounds, including Boscobel and Mortimer Park.  Henry will move to New York City as an Analyst in JP Morgan’s Private Bank following graduation, where he looks forward to continuing to connect with fellow alumni.

 

 

Parents Formal

During the spring semester, we also hosted our annual Parents’ Formal at The Forum Hotel, which was a great opportunity to celebrate the contributions of our graduating fourth-year class and the unwavering support of our fraternity’s families. A special thank you to all the parents whose tireless efforts make these events possible. Their dedication to our chapter enhances these moments of celebration and strengthens the foundation of our fraternity’s future.

 

 

 

 

 

Ike

Last spring, we gathered for our annual semi-formal, celebrating our Eminent Hoss, Ike Curry. With his uplifting spirit and dedication to our chapter, Ike embodied the values that define our brotherhood. The semi-formal was an unforgettable night at our chapter house, featuring live music from the David Austin Band. Our celebration was a tribute not only to Ike’s contributions but also a reflection of our deep appreciation for the historical members who have shaped our fraternity into the beacon of excellence it is today. We are committed to carrying forward their legacy, ensuring that the bonds of brotherhood, service, and leadership remain strong for future generations.
