Brotherhood Leadership Initiative
The overarching engagement framework that fosters brotherhood, leadership, service, mentorship, and sustained participation among active and alumni Brothers.
The Race for GLOAT · Greatest Line of All Time
Turn connection into opportunity.

Why it matters
Friendly competition. Meaningful impact.
The Line Drive is bigger than fundraising. It reconnects Brothers to one another, activates wider networks, and strengthens collective ownership of Project Uplift’s work.
Nearly 200 donors participated in the 2025 campaign, contributing approximately $12,000. In 2026, we are building on that momentum with a focused September campaign and a $15,000 goal.
How it all connects
One framework—from engagement to impact.
The Brotherhood Leadership Initiative connects year-round brotherhood and leadership engagement to visible competition, fundraising, and recognition.
Chapter Games
The competitive arm and front-end engagement engine, creating energy and connection through shared challenges and friendly competition.
The Line Drive
The peer-to-peer fundraising campaign that converts that energy into support for Project Uplift’s scholarships, mentorship, and career-readiness work.
Annual Meeting at Homecoming
The initiative culminates during Homecoming, Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1, 2026, with recognition of participants and the crowning of Chapter Games champions.
Lead your Line
Build a team. Tell the story. Invite your network to act.
The primary competitors are Lines—such as Spring 1999—fundraising together through one shared Donorbox page. Each Line names one Captain to own page updates and coordinate the team. Independent Community Fundraisers are welcome too.
Project Uplift provides campaign-wide storytelling, training, and support. Registered fundraisers make the direct asks within their own networks, follow up personally, and thank the people who respond.
Line onboarding
One Line. One shared page. One coordinated team.
Brothers fundraise together from the same Line page. A designated Line Captain maintains the page while every participant shares it with their own network.
- 01
Name a Line Captain
Choose one page owner and one backup contact. The Captain receives the Donorbox invitation and is responsible for edits. Do not share account passwords across the Line.
- 02
Submit the Line profile
Provide the Line designation, Captain contact information, a Line image, a short statement of purpose, and the Line’s fundraising goal.
- 03
Prepare the shared page
The Captain accepts the invitation, adds the approved image and story, sets the Line goal, and sends the page to Project Uplift for a quick pre-launch check.
- 04
Activate the team
Project Uplift confirms the unique page link. Every Brother on the Line uses that same link in email, text, social posts, and outreach throughout September.
Page ownership matters.
Donorbox creates a page for the invited fundraiser. Because a Line is sharing one page, the Line Captain should be the single editor. Teammates send requested updates to the Captain rather than sharing credentials or receiving access to Project Uplift’s organization account.
Ways to participate
Fundraise with your Line—or step forward independently.
Line teams are the heart of the campaign. Community Fundraisers give friends, family, alumni, and other supporters a way to lead even when they are not affiliated with a participating Line.
Line Team
Brothers share one Line fundraising page, one Line goal, and one coordinated campaign. The Line Captain maintains the page; the full team drives outreach.
