Phi Mu Delta Fraternity is proud to announce that the Mu Upsilon Chapter at Robert Morris University has been awarded the prestigious Perce R. Appleyard Award for Outstanding Community Service. This recognition was presented at the Fraternity's 61st Conclave in Providence, Rhode Island, celebrating the chapter's exceptional commitment to community service and philanthropy during the 2023-2024 academic year.
The Perce R. Appleyard Award, named after a former National President who served from 1948 to 1950, honors the chapter or provisional chapter that has made the greatest contribution to community service and philanthropy programming throughout the academic year. Brother Appleyard, a member of the Alpha Sigma Omega Fraternity that became the Mu Alpha Chapter at Susquehanna University in 1924, was known for his dedication to community service and philanthropy. The Mu Upsilon Chapter at Robert Morris University demonstrated an outstanding commitment to service, engaging in a variety of impactful projects in their local community. Brothers participated in roadside cleanup efforts in the Collier Township area and conducted highway trash pickup along a designated section, contributing to environmental preservation. They also made a difference in the lives of those in need by distributing food donations at a local food pantry. The chapter's commitment to health and wellness was evident in their assistance with registration and water stations for a charity 5K run. Additionally, the brothers dedicated their time to sorting and organizing medical supplies for the Global Links Foundation, supporting healthcare initiatives beyond their immediate community. "The Mu Upsilon Chapter's dedication to service embodies the spirit of Brother Appleyard and the values of Phi Mu Delta," said Sam Waltemeyer, Phi Mu Delta's Executive Director. "Their wide-ranging service projects have made a significant impact on their community and serve as an inspiration to all our chapters." The chapter's service initiatives not only benefited the local community but also provided valuable experiences for the brothers, fostering a sense of civic responsibility and strengthening their bond as a fraternity. The variety and scope of Mu Upsilon's service projects demonstrate their understanding of diverse community needs," added Sam Waltemeyer. "From environmental cleanup to supporting health initiatives, they've shown a comprehensive approach to community service." This award underscores Phi Mu Delta's commitment to fostering a spirit of service among its members and making a positive impact in communities across the nation. Comments are closed.
