This important activity establishes the member

begins July 1, 2013. Members have the option of
paying for multiple years or becoming a life

The Metro DC Alumni Chapter is very active and
does everything from providing scholarships to

membership dues will increase the number and
the value to local area students to attend NCCU
as well as make it possible to be involved in
national and local activities the support our Alma

regional and national alumni assessments,
summer cookout, holiday party, tailgates,
