We were planning a variety of events, including honoring alumni of our chapter who entered the Arkansas State University Distinguished Alumni Association, holding business/internship networking events for juniors and seniors, and holding alumni tailgates during football season. I also coordinated with our Chapter Advisors to organize the longest and largest golf tournament of all chapters. This event promotes a bonding experience among members as well as contributes to the scholarship fund for our undergraduate members.
