Mizzou’s Delta Upsilon Set To Move Into Ridiculous New $5.5 Million Mansion

Dillon Cheverere10 years ago

The tip we received about DU’s new chapter house at the University of Missouri:

Mizzou Delta Upsilon has been building a 6 million dollar castle that they will be moving into beginning of August. There are some awesome pictures online of it. It is a castle.

Well, it’s not a castle, but it is pretty fucking impressive. After $2.5 million was raised from alumni donations and another three after a successful fundraising campaign concluded, the University of Missouri’s Delta Upsilon chapter broke ground late last year to begin construction of their new $5.5 million pad. According to our tipster, residents are all set to move in early August.

Chapter house arms races are always interesting to follow. Similar to athletic facilities at major universities, if you want to land bluechip prospects, you better promise them the world and show them that the place they’d be hanging their hats over the next few years is nicer than their neighbors’. It’s why Bama has a waterfall in their locker room and why recruits around the country are escorted around campus by attractive coeds who may or may not double as paid-for student-prostitutes.

It’s all part of the recruiting game, and the game can get dirty.
