Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $11,104 spent. The organization has conducted several activities that align with its exempt purpose of fostering social connections and celebrating its rich legacy. A significant undertaking was the creation of a 60th Anniversary Yearbook, which required substantial time and effort from the initial directors. They gathered historical materials, coordinated design and production, and ensured the final product celebrated the chapter's legacy while strengthening alumni connections. The Annual Chapter Reunions included notable events such as the homecoming tailgate, anniversary brunch, and karaoke night. These activities were organized by the homecoming committee and took place on and near the Norfolk State University campus. The setup, facilitation, and breakdown of the tailgate required considerable time and effort from the directors and volunteers. Collectively, these events accounted for the majority of the organization's annual expenses, including costs for food, decorations, T-shirts, and event supplies. Funding came primarily from ticket sales, member dues, and sponsorships, representing approximately 60 percent of the organization's budget. These events fostered social engagement, strengthened bonds among alumni, and celebrated the organization's legacy. Philanthropy has also been a significant focus. This year, the organization donated $3,000 to its Endowment Fund established with Norfolk State University, as well as $956 to support the Gamma Nu Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. These contributions reflect the organization's commitment to supporting its alma mater and undergraduate chapter, furthering its mission to promote education and community support. While the organization plans to engage in Community Service Projects such as food drives, clothing donations, and mentorship programs in the future, these initiatives are still in the planning stages. Currently, the organization's efforts and resources have been concentrated on activities that build community, celebrate its history, and provide financial support to Norfolk State University and the Gamma Nu Chapter. Through these activities, the organization has demonstrated its dedication to fostering connections, celebrating milestones, and supporting its members and alma mater.
