Staff Report
The Triple X Fraternity-Los Angeles Chapter has established a scholarship at Fresno State for 2016 announced Armenian Studies Program Director Prof. Barlow Der Mugrdechian.
The Triple X-Los Angeles Chapter has donated $2,000 to establish the scholarship, which will be awarded to deserving Armenian students studying at Fresno State.
The Triple X Fraternity is approaching its centennial in 2018, and has prided itself as a fraternal organization open to men of Armenian descent located in the states of California and Nevada.
Almost 75 years ago, a charter was granted to a handful of young men in Southern California, thereby establishing the Los Angeles Chapter of the Triple X Fraternity of California.
Because of the firm fraternal foundations that were set, the activities of the Los Angeles Chapter were a notable success.
The excellence of social activities, as well as charitable endeavors, were recognized and appreciated by the Southern California community.
Throughout its history, the individual chapters have established several fundraising activities to provide support to meaningful programs serving both their Armenian heritage and the local communities in which the members live.
The Armenian Studies Program appreciates the establishment of the new Scholarship that will benefit Armenian students at Fresno State.
