Our Mission
The Rho Alpha Graduate Association exists to ensures the perpetuation of the Rho Alpha chapter of Phi Gamma Delta at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. The Association shall fulfill this purpose by doing the following:
Maintaining chapter housing
Advising the chapter through the Board of Chapter Advisors (BCA) and Purple Legionnaire
Promoting the involvement of Graduate Brothers with the Association and the chapter
The Rho Alpha Graduate Assocation, which technically exists in name only, consists of two separate and distinctly unique organizations: The Rho Alpha House Corporation and Board of Chapter Advisors/PL.
The House Corporation is responsible for maintaining sufficient chapter housing for the undergraduate brothers of Rho Alpha and properly managing the their (House Corporation) finances.
The Purple Legionnaire and the Board of Chapter Advisors ("BCA") are solely responsible for advising the undergraduate chapter in areas such as scholarship, recruitment, leadership, etc. The BCA is also tasked with planning the chapter's Norris Pig Dinner each year in partnership with the undergraduate chapter.
The Section Chief is a “regional manager” volunteer charged with oversight of multiple chapters and expansion opportunities within his geographic section.
