Past presidents of the National Alumni Association attended the inaugural Past Presidents Dinner.

The Delta State University (DSU) Alumni Association recently honored its past presidents during its inaugural Past Presidents Dinner on April 9, 2022, in the Atrium of Kent Wyatt Hall. Present at the Past President’s Dinner were six KA brothers from Delta Beta Chapter;  John Fletcher ’88, who organized the event,  John Cox ’93, Rob Armour ’92, Richard Myers ’88, Arthur Johnston ’86, and Mickey Robinson (not pictured).

“I’m glad so many of the prior presidents were able to come back in for the celebration,” said John Fletcher (Delta Beta–Delta State ’88), current president of the DSU Alumni Association. “It’s always great to hear the stories of those who came before you and to pick their brains and experience for ideas we can use going forward,” he said. “I hope this becomes a new tradition and an ongoing opportunity for these leaders to interact directly with the administration and to stay engaged and involved with the University.”

Since the chapter’s inception in 1964, twenty-one KA brothers have served as president of the Alumni Association even representing 12 of the last 20 presidents.
