How do I become a member?
There is no fee to become a member of the chapter. You went to Tech, went to class (we think!) and now you're a Hokie alum. You're already a member.
Get active & participate! We endeavor to provide a variety of activities for local Hokies such as volunteer events like Volunteerfest and Carpenters Shelter, Chapter service and awareness at the Fairfax Fair, our annual job fair, sports teams, and social events like happy hours.

A major focus of the chapter is providing scholarships to Tech for local high school students. Find out more about how to apply for a scholarship.
We have provided $10,000 in scholarships each year for the past 5 years. In 2004 we provided a record $20,000 in funds to Virginia Tech. We also funded a $25,000 endowment in Blacksburg in early 2002. You can make tax deductible contributions to the endowment.
Would you like to support our chapter activities?
We have many activities that need Hokie volunteers or event sponsors including committees and events (e.g. Family Events, Golf Tournament, Job Fair). Contact us if you can help!
"Aren't you the Hokie Club?"
This is a question we get a lot. We aren't the Hokie Club (but we do love Hokie sports!). The Hokie Club is the athletic booster club for Hokie sports. We're a chapter of the VT alumni association. Get connected to the local Hokie Club chapter.
