Chicago Chapter – Miami Alumni Beach Volleyball League
Looking for something fun to do on Thursday nights during the summer? The Chicago Chapter has organized a beach volleyball league.  Registration is no longer available.

Thank you Chicago!
As most of you know, the weekend of February 15 - 17 was a tremendous showcase for Miami in Chicago.  Hundreds of alumni showed their Miami pride by participating in events throughout the weekend, culminating with the game against Notre Dame on Sunday.  While the outcome of the game was not ideal, Miami pride was on full display as we took over Soldier Field and cheered for our RedHawks.

Keep watching for updates!

Chicago Chapter Scholarship

Did you know your area alumni chapter has a scholarship fund?

The Chicago Chapter continuously raises money to support the Cynthia Bland O’Toole – Chicago Alumni Chapter Scholarship. The Cynthia Bland O’Toole Scholarship is awarded to a first-year student from the Chicago area.

Breakdown of Chicago Chapter Area

The chart below is an approximate breakdown of the alumni that make up the Chicago Chapter according to the address information maintained by the Miami University Alumni Association in Oxford as of January 2009 (NOTE:  We will update this information as often as we can, but its intended to be a broad estimate).  If you would like to see a more detailed breakdown by city and zip code, click here.

We hope this breakdown provides you with further transparency of the distribution of alumni across the greater Chicago metropolitan area.  As the Chapter's Leadership lives within the City of Chicago, which is also where the largest group of alumni live, the majority of our events are planned in this area.  However, being cognizant of the number of alumni that live in the large suburban areas surrounding the city, we would really like to expand the Chapter's event offerings, but we need your help to do so.  If you would like to host a Chicago Chapter Miami Alumni Event closer to your area, feel free to reach out to a board member, and we will help you plan, advertise, and execute your event.
