In October 2011, three Ole Miss freshmen and KA brothers—Clayton Kelly, Walker Kelly, and Mason Wilbanks—tragically lost their lives in a car accident on their way back to Oxford to go to church with their pledge brothers. Their loss continues to be felt across our chapter and serves as a lasting reminder of the impact they made.

In their honor, Maxwell Pearson, Sam Storm, and Andrew Brock have been named recipients of the Kelly, Kelly, and Wilbanks Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship was created to carry on their legacy and is awarded to those who reflect strong character, leadership, and a genuine commitment to the chapter. We are deeply grateful to the boys’ families and donors who continue to honor their memory through this meaningful gift.

In February, our Executive Officers traveled to Atlanta for the Officer Training Conference, where Alpha Upsilon was honored to receive the Samuel Zenas Ammen Award and the George C. Marshall Award for Chapter Excellence.

The Ammen Award recognizes chapters ranking in the top 10–15% nationwide, while the Marshall Award is presented to the top 1–3 chapters in the Order.

We’re proud of the work being done within the chapter and grateful for the alumni and supporters who continue to invest in Alpha Upsilon.
