Arch Society

From the black blazer to knowing every verse of the Alma Mater by heart,

from inspiration and tradition to dinner decision,

from snaps to APA's,

from Arch 1 (shout out founding 1991-92 POTA!) to Arch 35,

On March 26, we’re Calling All Dawgs for the University of Georgia’s Dawg Day of Giving!

With a vision to keep alumni connected and informed, Zaire introduced Arch Minutes—a creative initiative sharing updates and stories that highlight why students continue to join the Arch Society. His passion for connecting with alumni shines as he engages with them at events, hearing their memories and learning how Arch Society has evolved over time.

Zaire’s advice for Arch 34 is simple yet powerful: “Lean on those who have already worn the blazer. Ask them questions throughout training and beyond induction—they are there to help you!”
