Closing out the festivities will be the “Black Out Party” Saturday night (April 13th), also at the Grand Hyatt. Patrons are encouraged to wear their fly and chic black attire for the “Black Out” event that will be the talk of the town.
Don’t wait. If the Kappa events held at Founders’ Day are an indica-

It has been a special year for the Tampa Alumni Chapter, which is cel- ebrating its 90th year of service to the Tampa Bay community. The past year has seen the chapter donate more than 200 Pack ’n Play cribs to needy families, assisted in election town hall meetings, as well as continue to pro- vide mentorship to young men in the community. This is nothing new as Tampa Alumni has been the premiere fraternity assisting in community af- fairs in Tampa Bay since 1928.
