 MOON TOWNSHIP, PA - On September 6, 2024, the Mu Upsilon Chapter of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity at Robert Morris University held an engaging and unconventional Fall Brotherhood Retreat, combining strategic planning with high-energy team building at Battlegrounds Airsoft in Pittsburgh.
The event, designed to energize and unite the brothers ahead of recruitment week, began with a focused goal-setting session on campus. From 4:30 to 5:00 PM, members gathered to discuss and align their short-term and long-term objectives for the upcoming semester. This was followed by a brotherhood dinner in the PNC Food Court, fostering camaraderie and informal discussions. The highlight of the retreat was an evening of team-building exercises at The Battlegrounds, where brothers participated in spirited Airsoft matches. This unique activity provided an exciting platform for strengthening bonds and creating lasting memories among the fraternity members. Aaron Frier, VP of Membership for the Mu Upsilon Chapter, explained the rationale behind the event: "We wanted to empower our brothers with the energy to move forward to our goals for this upcoming semester. The combination of strategic planning and high-energy team building at Battlegrounds Airsoft proved to be an effective way to unite our chapter and set a positive tone for the fall." The retreat saw a strong turnout, with a majority of the chapter's brotherhood in attendance. Frier added, "With a majority of our brotherhood there, brothers created memories reaffirming the lifelong friendships we hope to foster in the Mu Upsilon chapter. Furthermore, our goal-setting session put us on the right course for the semester, with a vow to revisit them come the end of the year." This innovative approach to a brotherhood retreat demonstrates Phi Mu Delta's commitment to fostering strong interpersonal connections while maintaining a focus on chapter growth and development. By combining serious planning with enjoyable team-building activities, the Mu Upsilon Chapter has set a strong foundation for a successful fall semester. Sam Waltemeyer, Executive Director of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity, commended the chapter's initiative: "The Mu Upsilon Chapter's creative approach to their Fall Brotherhood Retreat exemplifies the kind of innovative thinking we encourage in our chapters. By balancing strategic planning with engaging team-building activities, they've set themselves up for a strong and unified semester ahead." Comments are closed.
