Originally named, 'Virginia Region Alumni Association of Phi Theta Kappa', our organization was chartered in 1996, as one of the first regional alumni associations of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. Since 1996, Virginia Alumni members have supported Virginia Region of Phi Theta Kappa by providing scholarships to Virginia Region campus chapters for various educational and fellowship events, as well as donating funds to Virginia Region candidates for International offices and supporting their candidacy at International Conventions. Virginia Alumni members have served as volunteers at Regional events, developed and conducted workshops for Leadership conferences to train incoming chapter officers and developed activities for Virginia Regional events. The Virginia Alumni also sponsor a yearly Senior College Transfer Fair at the Virginia Regional Convention. In 2016 the Virginia Region and the Alumni Association voted to include West Virginia in their name. Thus, we are now known as Virginia/West Virginia Region Alumni Association.
