In my four years, we have always won the intramural football championship. We have also claimed victory in indoor soccer, in addition to the highly-touted innertube water polo championship this year. Due to our successes on the field, we have received the IFC award for intramural excellence. We also have many brothers who play on UVA teams beside the intramural league. Brother Taylor Swindell was on the UVA club lacrosse team that won a national championship and Brother Jefferson Dockter plays on the UVA tennis team. Lastly, Brother Lester Coleman is the starting punter for the UVA football team, and was named to 2nd all-ACC this past fall. Looking Ahead This May we said goodbye to 23 members at this year’s graduation, including myself. This is a bittersweet time but nonetheless I know the Hall will continue to thrive because it is in great hands. Overall, the Upsilon Chapter has never looked better in my time at UVA. There is something different about Hall brothers; our bond is noticeable on Grounds and our emphasis on what matters most sets us apart. As a result, first-years desire to be in the Hall and we are committed to finding young men that will give back, just as so many current and former brothers did and continue to do. For these reasons and more, the Upsilon chapter is well suited to prosper through 2018 and beyond. Please never hesitate to contact us if you are ever in Charlottesville, as we’d love to have you come by the house or as a guest for a Brother’s Night Wednesday evening.
