AEKDB
Thanks again to the 140+ Brothers that contributed donations and participated in Alumni events in our fiscal 2017 year (June 2016-May 2017) the fiftieth anniversary of the installation of the Kappa Sigma, Theta-Upsilon Chapter.
While the year was unique for not having an undergraduate chapter at Miami for the first time in 50 years it was the most active year for the alumni of the chapter, with two Fricker Cups, the 50th Anniversary Celebration, the Alumni Weekend Open House, Cossa Challenge, a printed Fricker Report and increased email/digital communications, and multiple surveys. In addition, our board was active in initiating the call to help that resulted in the creation of the AEKDB. LLC which provided funds to the Theta-Upsilon Housing Company, educational webinars in the fall followed by four alumni committees that organized presentations and materials around the topic of a Chapter restart.
The exceptional year included contributions of more than $4,861.81 to help the children of Brother Christopher Haughn who joined the Chapter Celestial earlier in the year.
Contributions also enabled KSTUAA to donate $800 to Miami University for the installation of a commemorative plaque and tree, just to the East of the Withrow St site and to thank and honor Brother Mic Wilson, Executive Director of Kappa Sigma with a commemorative (but functioning) humidor with a plaque thanking him for his service to the Fraternity and general and in in appreciation of his decades of support to Theta-Upsilon.
As we work to return an undergraduate chapter back to Miami support will need to continue and broaden and we appreciate your continued words of encouragement to the volunteers on the KSTUAA Board and your contributions.
We sincerely appreciate the broad support of time and resources of those you see below.

There are two major changes on the Board with both Brothers Wes Bren and Chris Elder not accepting nominations for officer posts that they have held for 6 years. Brother Elder is prohibited per the by-laws from serving more than six consecutive terms in the office of Treasurer. He is eligible to be elected as the Treasurer again after a one-year hiatus from the position.
Brother Bren, at the 2017 Annual Meeting indicated his desire to step away from the President's responsibilities due to his other commitments as Alumnus Advisor for the Nu-Psi Chapter at the University of Cincinnati, Assistant District Grand master for Southern Ohio and to free up time for the organization of a recolonization of Theta-Upsilon Chapter.
Brother Brad Mikes who is the only other officer to serve since KSTUAA's inception remains a nominee for the role of Vice-President.
