metro delays and parking tickets stay home! Take a break
from the bar scene but our wallets wont take a break. How do I
participate in the Sober Happy Hour?

you would have spent at Happy Hour.
How will we know if its successful? o On Friday January 17 we
will announce the total raised from the Sober Happy Hour

$10 thats $500 to support the DC Chapter.

committee needs assistance in programming for the chapter. The
chapter leadership has made it a priority that we engage in more
community service activities and develop more family-friendly
activities. Please speak to any member of the committee or e-mail

Alma Mater
Verse I Dear A&T, Dear A&T, a monument
indeed, Around thy base with grateful hearts behold thy
students
kneel. We bless the power that gave thee birth to help us in
our
need, We'll ever strive while here on earth all loyalty to
yield.
Refrain
With joy, with joy, dear A&T, thy students turn from thee To
spread thy trophies year by year from Dare
to Cherokee.
