Alumni Chapters

Alumni Chapters and Housing Corporations

Alumni chapters and housing corporations are organizations within the Fraternity connecting and engaging alumni of a particular chapter, which seek to:

  • Effectively communicate with a chapter’s alumni base
  • Actively engage alumni of a chapter with events and programs
  • Help alumni reconnect with old friends
  • Help alumni connect with their fraternity
  • Help seniors transition to life after college

Alumni chapters and housing corporations perform these functions in various ways, and many also provide substantial support to their undergraduate chapter.
