Introduction
to the Association
Since the Theta
Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega at the
University of Virginia re-chartered
in the Spring
of 1963, alumni activities have centered around the undergraduate
Chapter, focusing primarily on pledge
projects and camping trips (also known as Theta's Official Service
to Scouting). More recently,
the Superbrother
index of Keith
Roots (Theta 477, Spring '83) has helped Superbrothers stay in touch.
The need for a formal Alumni Association became
paramount in 2001, when a former advisor pledged $10,000 to the
undergraduate Chapter and challenged fellow Alumni to permanently
endow Theta Chapter through matching gifts. Several Superbrothers saw
the need for a formal structure to administer the Endowment, and at a
meeting held in Newcomb
Hall on October 21, 2001,
the Alumni Association was born. Click
here for more details about the history of the association.
Since its formation, the Alumni Association has
secured its status as a Virginia non-profit
Corporation and a registered 501(c)(3).
The Association has elected officers for two-year
terms. A separate Board of Trustees
elected for three-year, staggered terms will administer the Trust.
The Alumni Association has two immediate goals:
- To Endow the Chapter with $40,000 from Superbrothers
to match the $10,000 anonymous donation. The deadline for meeting this
goal is Theta Chapter's 75th Anniversary on February 9, 2004. To reach
the Endowment FAQ and learn how to contribute, click

- to organize and conduct at least two Alumni
service projects each year. In February of 2002 the Association hosted
its first service project at the Capital
Area Food Bank in Northeast Washington, D.C. Future projects are
being considered for the Triangle (NC) and the New York City area. If
you are interested in participating or organizing a project, please
contact an officer.
