We have hundreds of alumni that are active in the Greensboro area, North Carolina, and the country. Below you will find updates on the ways many of them continue to advance music in their communities.

When Charles was a member of our chapter, he remembers being interested in and helping with fundraisers before he rushed. He also recalls movie nights that he would have with his Big, Julie. Throughout his membership, he enjoyed putting together a family tree of Bigs and Littles for our chapter.
"Those are just a few [of my favorite memories], and now, back to supervising students for our Korean Culture club!"
