On Saturday, September 13, the alumni chapter held it's quarterly general body meeting at Christopher Newport University.  Twelve AKPsi brothers were in attendance -including a few officers from the Iota Pi chapter.

During the meeting, various topics were discussed such as our upcoming fundraising and social events, various opportunities for the chapter to give back to the community, and changes coming within the new region that will allow the alumni chapters to become more involved.  Iota Pi's VP of Alumni Relations shared information on upcoming events that alumni are invited to attend and requested more alumni bigs for the potentially large pledge group this year.  Watch your inbox for the minutes from the meeting.

After the meeting, the brothers ventured across the street to popular CNU spot, Schooners for brunch.  A few additional Iota Pi members joined for brunch.  It was a great bonding event for both the HRAC and student brothers!

Brothers gathered at The Cove at Oyster Point City Center in Newport News for Happy Hour -the first of many upcoming "Social Seconds" brotherhood activities.  Social Seconds provides a social outlet for brothers to get to know each other a little better.  This is also a great opportunity for prospective members to join us and learn about the alumni chapter.

The Happy Hour event at The Cove fell on the same weekend as Christopher Newport University's homecoming.  Many Iota Pi alumni joined us at the event since they were in the area.

The Brothers of the Hampton Roads Alumni Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi enjoyed a night of networking with the Spring 2013 graduates of the Iota Pi chapter.  Click here for more photos.  HRAC brothers are looking forward to its new members!

HRAC brothers joined Iota Pi Chapter during Court of Honor and Induction this month at Christopher Newport University.  The brothers of Iota Pi inducted 21 new brothers into their chapter.  Iota Pi congratulated their new brothers by taking them to the Hampton Roads Alumni Chapter fundraiser being held that night at Chili's.  The fundraiser raised money for Relay for Life.  You can join our Relay for Life team, or make a donation at: HRAC Relay for Life.  More photos of the Chili's event can be found on our Photos Page.  

HRAC representatives were on-hand, recently to participate in an Alumni Panel at CNU.

Brothers of the Hampton Roads Alumni Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi purchased and donated toys for needy children in the Hampton Roads area on November 27th this year.  The event was organized by Frenette Thomas an alumni brother and member of HRAC.  Additional photos are available for viewing on the HRAC website.

Alumni brothers attend Court of Honor at Christopher Newport University today and reaffirmed their oath of brotherhood.  Afterwards, HRAC brothers joined the student chapter for dinner and drinks.

Several members of the Hampton Roads Alumni Chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi attended the 40th anniversary of Iota Pi chapter at Smoke Restaurant in Newport News, VA on Friday, November 2nd, 2012.  The group had a great time and is looking forward to future events with the chapter.   Pictures can be found in the Photos section of the website.

Iota Pi has invited the Hampton Roads Alumni Chapter to a celebratory 40th anniversary "soiree" at the new upscale BBQ restaurant in Newport News, Smoke.  They have rented out a large room in the restaurant and will have a buffet style dinner, complete with cake, music, and of course, brothers!  There is also a full bar available (AKPsi will not be sponsoring this, but you are more than welcome to partake on a separate tab!).  There will be a small price for a cover charge just to cover the cost of food.  They are estimating it will be roughly $5-$10 per person (depending on how many brothers RSVP/Attend, so very low cost.  It should be a great event.  Please RSVP to jodysouth@yahoo.com by no later than October 20th and include whether you will have a plus one.  Also, since that weekend is CNU homecoming weekend, they will also be hosting a tailgate on Saturday at around 3:30pm if any HRAC brother would like to attend.
