Join Florida Alpha
for Alumni Mondays
Now, the First Monday of Each Month
Florida Alpha is proud to con-
tinue Alumni Mondays. Oc-
curring on the first Monday
of each month, we invite
alumni back to the Chapter
House for dinner at 5:30 p.m.,
to learn more about the active Chapter, and
attend the Chapter meeting at 6:30 p.m., if
you wish. Alumni Mondays will give alumni
and active brothers an opportunity to get to
know each other. We hope to show alumni
how much their investment in the future of
Florida Alpha is appreciated.
Contact Chapter President Hayden Grim '19
with any questions at haydeng123@ufl.edu.
