Election Time Is Here!

Your board members have been working tirelessly for the past 4 years to connect to alums in the state, welcome a new collegiate chapter, establish an ongoing tradition of Founder's Day celebrations,  participating in The Arthritis Foundation's "Jingle Bell Run," fundraising, and more!  The primary emphasis of our alum group to this point has been to provide support for the opening of the Alpha Rho Chapter at OSU in Corvallis.  It is time to shift our attention to the primary function of... you guessed it... US!  After 4 years of learning the ropes of how an alum chapter works, we all have a few goals we think are important to a successful alum group.
