About — Committees

Chapter Committees

Our committees drive the mission of the Denton-Lewisville (TX) Alumni Chapter — from youth development and scholarship to community outreach and brotherhood.

Each committee is chaired by a chapter brother and supported by volunteers committed to achievement in every field of human endeavor. Brothers interested in serving on a committee should contact the chapter at vicepolemarch@dlakappa.org.
