Q: What
geographic area does
the Peninsula
Chapter of the VTAA
cover?
A:
The Peninsula Hokies
include the
geographic areas of
Yorktown, Seaford,
Poquoson, Newport
News, Hampton,
Gloucester, and
Mathews.
Q: Who can join
the Peninsula
Chapter of the VTAA?
A:
Anyone who wants to
support Virginia
Tech in the local
community.
This includes Hokies
(students and
alumni), Pokies
(Parents of Hokies),
Spokies (Spouses of
Hokies) and Fokies
(Friends of Hokies).
Q: How much does
it cost to join the
Peninsula Chapter of
the VTAA?
A:
There are no
membership fees.
We are purely a
volunteer
organization.
Some people will
make donations to
the chapter's
scholarship fund in
lieu of a membership
fee but that is
entirely up to them.
Since there are no
membership fees, all
events are "pay as
you go" and most are
free to attend like
the Hokie Happy
Hours and Football
Game Watching
Parties.
Q: Are you
affiliated with the
Peninsula Chapter of
the Hokie Club??
A:
Not exactly.
Although we all
support Virginia
Tech, the Hokie Club
is a membership
related organization
that supports the
Virginia Tech
Athletic Fund.
You have to formally
joint the Hokie Club
by making a
donation. Many
members of our
organization are
also members of the
Peninsula Chapter of
the Hokie Club and
their organization
is always generous
in helping with our
events.
Q: How do you
raise money for
scholarships?
A:
We hold two major
fundraising events
per year. They
are our annual
Ferguson Enterprises
Golf Tournament and
the Hokie Golf
Classic. As a
general rule, the
fee collected to
participate covers
the cost to the
chapter to host the
event. Most,
if not all, of the
money collected
through the
sponsorships, raffle
tickets and
donations, and
auctioned items goes
directly to the
scholarship fund.
Q: What types of
social events do you
host during a
typical year?
A:
We hold several
events each year.
They are our annual
Spring Social,
Summer Hokie Happy
Hours, Fall Football
Game Watching
Parties, and the
Freshman Send-Off
Event. Please
check our events
calendar for all of
the details
regarding upcoming
events.
Q: How do I get
involved?
A:
The best way to get
actively involved is
to fill out the
information on
Sign Up page.
You may also contact
our
officers.
