I live in Atlanta and want to start alumni events. We are located close to a lot of our road game opponents (Birmingham, Charlotte, Tampa, Boca Raton, Greenville). ATL is an amazing airport that has flights to every away game. I moved here recently for work and hung out with the South Carolina alumni to just meet people.

I would love some advice on how to organize this. Mailing lists, social media, chapter organization, etc. I plan to soft launch some events this spring (basketball watch parties, volunteering, activities), but I am planning a more concrete organization going into Fall 2025.

If you live in the area, please reach out!

Is there a reason you wouldn't start by calling the alumni association?

I like that you are doing this independently of the official alumni association.  They will want to get a big chunk of your budget.

I reached out recently. I am reaching out on the forum to see other people's experience and gauge interest.

Sounds great, Mat. I live in Spalding County GA.

Hey Rex, thanks for following up again. I reached out via email to the alumni association a week ago. I am going to call them or forward my email to another person. 
 

What type of events would you like to see?

1. Shuttles to away games (UAB, Charlotte)

2. Dinners, Local Activities, Watch parties 

3. Host UNT speaker

I like the idea of traveling to do-able games such as UAB and Charlotte and shuttle would be fun. I wish UGA, Ga Tech, Ga State, or even Kennesaw State would schedule us for basketball. Watch parties would be fun. I'm not too keen on night driving (have to remind myself every now and then I'm 81). Thanks for taking this on!

      Not thrilled about playing State

      In a city of 4 million people, I'd sure hope you'd have at least double the attendance of little ol' San Marcos. The only reason ya'll ever sniffed a 5 star recruit is because E.O. was a momma's boy that didn't want to leave home (like most UH students actually). Nobody was talking smack, UH fans are just low class losers and overall poor sports. The only reason you're in the BIG 12 is your daddy Tillman paid for it. Nobody cares about UH in Houston, it's all about UT, A&M and LSU.

      Idiot president-elect proposes Canada as 51st state

      Once again Republicans create their own little economic dystopia for some reason because your retirement accounts have never been higher, unemployment has never been lower, and inflation lagged behind the rest of the world. Yeah the world's biggest welfare queen turning twitter into a cesspool of nazis, bots and crypto scammers. Throttling the political opposition and using illegal lotteries to try and buy votes. Suing companies because they dare choose not to advertise next to usernames like killk**es1488. Every time he makes another boneheaded announcement like allowing people to still see blocked tweets, or arbitration that has to be settled by a judge he's donated money to, threads/bluesky/mastadon get a bump in new users. The world's richest man's threats to shut down the government over the spending bill just got $190 million stripped away from childhood cancer research. Enjoy what's left of the federal government being sold off to billionaires with their added profit taxes because god forbid something not make money.

      Build the rivalry between North Texas (Good Guys) and Texas State (Someone needs to be the bad guys 🤣), and everyone can agree that we wish UTSA nothing but bad luck

      You cant talk about a fanbase when we double your attendance. Funny how 4 and 5 star guys come play football and basketball in 3rd Ward but won't even look in San Marcos' direction. When opposing fans talk smack and try to start fights atnthe game, they get beer, red paint, etc dumped on them. Oh well. Texas Tech does even worse stuff. Hell, everything Tech and UH play each other, there's always a brawl in the stands. Lmao

      If the owners of this stie didn't need the visits/posts from you, you'd be gone...which is extremely pathetic on many, many levels.
