Housing Corporation
The chapter house at 1832 Fraternity Park is over 50 years old. A major renovation in 2011 means we expect it to serve the chapter’s need for many years to come. However there is always a need for maintenance, improvements, and preparation for future construction.
Checks to support the housing corporation should be made payable to The University of Tennessee, and mailed to P.O. Box 2223, Knoxville, TN 37901.
Contributions to The University of Tennessee are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. Be sure to consult with a tax advisor for full information.
Alumni Association (VAD)
The purpose of Tennessee Alpha’s Alumni Association is to plan and offer activities and programs which provide continued brotherhood experiences for life. We also work with the active chapter to promote a positive brotherhood experience for all members. The Alumni Association plans quality events for alumni and undergraduates alike and publishes a nationally renown, award winning newsletter. The SPIEL keeps alumni abreast of current alumni news, alumni events, and undergraduate news and information.
The suggested amount for Voluntary Alumni dues is $40 per year. However some choose to donate more. We will accept any amount.
