Today, on our 41st Founder’s Day we honor our founder, Trevor A. Charles, whose vision gave birth to Delta Phi Upsilon in 1985.

He created more than a fraternity. He created a home for Gay men of color to lead, to serve, and to belong. At a time when traditional spaces often denied us access, he imagined a brotherhood rooted in authenticity, history, and purpose.
Because of his vision, Delta Phi Upsilon stands today on the open motto “Service Without Expectation,” grounded in service, leadership, and connection.

We honor our predecessor and every early member who joined him is seeing our potential before the world did.
His legacy lives through every brother and member of D Phi U.

Onward!

Today, we honor the lives, stories, and strength of those affected by HIV and AIDS.

And this year, without any acknowledgement from the administration we’re reminded of something our community has always known:

We survive because we rely on each other.
We care for one another.
We fight stigma together.
We push for resources, visibility, and justice together.

Our resilience has never come from institutions. It has come from organizers, caregivers, educators, activists, loved ones, and every person who continues to advocate, support, and show up. It has come from US!

As we reflect today, let’s commit to staying informed, getting tested, supporting access to treatment, uplifting those living with HIV, and continuing the work toward an AIDS-free future.
Community is our power.

Solidarity is our legacy.

He is also a trailblazing advocate, co-founding Charlotte Black Pride, SC Black Pride, and Triangle Black Pride, and leading initiatives like POOR NO MORE, which provides essential resources to Charlotte residents, and KUUMBA Academy, a fellowship for creatives of color in the region.

His trailblazing work has earned numerous honors, including Charlotte’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Medallion Award, recognition as Person of the Year by QNotes Carolinas, and the inaugural Arts & Science Council Founder’s Grant for contributions to arts, culture, and community advocacy.
