Founder’s Day 2017 is just around the corner!
This year’s event will be held April 7-8 in Knoxville.
- Brunch will be held on Saturday morning at 5 Bar on Gay Street. This is a new venue and we think it will be very popular.
- The Founder’s Day Dinner is Saturday night at The Marriott. We will return to a sit-down dinner and a short program.
- Emphasis this year will be on getting alumni from the decades of the 1950’s and 1980’s, but all alumni are encouraged to attend. Other decades will be featured in future years.
Registration packages were mailed this week. Be on the look out and mark your calendars! Didn’t get a package and want to attend? Let us know in a comment and we will make it happen.
Great news on the Tennessee Alpha Hall of Fame!
After careful consideration at this year’s Alumni Planning Retreat, we decided to move the level of giving from $10,000 to $5,000 for the Hall of Fame. This was done with the hopes that the lower level would attract more brothers to aspire to join the Hall of Fame – especially younger alumni.
Additionally, revisions were made to the Young Alumni Program.
- Any alumnus who has given a combined total of $2,500 through VAD, Scholarship Fund, or Housing donations, within 15 years of their graduation will be inducted into the Tennessee Alpha Hall of
Fame. - Alumni who are within 20 years of graduation will be given a “one time” opportunity to take advantage of this program. Those individuals will be notified by a special mailing.
- Brothers who wish to take advantage of these changes can make multi-year pledges towards the program.
