The Virginia Alumni Chapter of the Davis
and Elkins College Alumni Association was founded in October of 2007. The Chapter officially organized and formed at
a meeting of D&E alumni from Virginia during homecoming weekend on Sunday Ocober 18 of 2009. At this organizational
meeting, the membership officially voted to form the Chapter, adopted formal bylaws, elected our officers, and registered
our first members. We look to increase our membership in the short term, and look to holding our first event in Virginia
in 2010.
