On February 21, brothers traveled to Atlanta, GA to participate in the Principled Business Leadership Institute (PBLI) events.  Three brothers from the Hampton Roads Alumni Chapter attended:  Jody South, Zach Grohler, and Shelly Rossi.  Travelling along with our alumni brothers were other local student brothers and a few alumni from the Washington DC area.

Activities taking place during the event included a case competition, multiple education sessions with speakers, an awards ceremony, an alumni gathering, and various networking opportunities.  Overall, it was an excellent experience for all in attendance, and as brother, Jody South, stated, "The trip to Atlanta renewed our bond as brothers."  

The first general body meeting of 2014 was held on Saturday, February 15 at the library on the campus of Christopher Newport University.  Fifteen brothers attended the meeting.  Elections were held for 2014 officers and chairpersons.  This was the first election where the group incorporated a private, electronic ballot.  The 2014 officers are as follows:
