ALUMNI HOMECOMING EVENT ENDS IN SUCCESS Our first major alumni event took place on October 24 during Homecoming. Several alumni and parents came down to enjoy a fun and relaxing get-together. Our chapter hosted a softball game for alumni in the afternoon, and for dinner they were treated to Benton Square, an upscale restaurant that features private dining. To finish off the night, we hosted a brotherhood bonfire to build relationships and share stories between the active chapter and alumni. PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE It is our hope that future generations of Alpha Iotas will carry on the chapter's powerful legacy and continue to instill the values of hard work and dedication. We want to thank alumni for your tireless support and dedication to the future of Alpha Iota. If you are ever in the area, I encourage you to stop by.
