Alumni Clubs & Chapters

With more than 6,000 Summit alumni worldwide, you’ll find Silver Knights everywhere! Moving out of Cincinnati? Check if there is a chapter near you!

Celebrate the significance of being a Silver Knight by attending events and activities with your fellow alumni. Volunteers in each chapter and club ensure Summit has a prominent and vibrant presence across the country.

To fully engage alumni across the country, we’ll address the inaugural eight geographic areas where Summit has the most alumni outside of Cincinnati. Our goal is for Summit alumni to become connected and engaged with each other and The Summit through involvement at the local, regional, and national level.

Don’t see a chapter or club near you, get in touch today if you are interested in forming one!

To learn more about clubs and chapters, read the Regional Engagement Playbook for full details.

What is the difference between a club and a chapter?

Alumni clubs and chapters offer opportunities for alumni in a specific geographic region to connect based on their passion for The Summit Country Day School. Alumni chapters and clubs serve to bring alumni together as well as promote and enhance the objectives of The Summit Country Day School, the Summit Alumni Association and any affiliated campus partners. These groups will provide ways for alumni to network, professional development and stay connected with other alumni who share similar interests.

A Regional Chapter (“Chapter”) is a recognized group of alumni representing a hot spot who have established their group by having a set of bylaws, an executive leadership council consisting of chapter president, past chapter president and chapter president elect (at least), and at least two annual alumni events and one annual meeting for the chapter.

A Regional Club (“Club”) is a recognized group of alumni representing a hot spot who have at least two annual events but do not have an executive leadership council.

Each regional club and regional chapter must be approved by The Summit Alumni Office and the Summit Alumni Board to be an official group and to receive funding.
