The Houston Area Alumni Chapter provides a medium through which the alumni may work to advance the growth and development of AAMU. We assist AAMU in the recruitment of students, promote the development of public & private support for the university, engage in activities that enhance the university’s reputation and foster the progression of alumni in the Houston area.
New to Houston or New to us? No matter when you graduated or what you studied, once a bulldog, always a bulldog. Join AAMU Houston Area Alumni and rally with other Bulldogs our events.
Join AAMU Houston Area Alumni Chapter for great opportunities to meet your fellow Bulldogs from southeast Texas and beyond. Make connections, meet someone new at one of our happy hours, gatherings, game day tailgates, or cookouts.
AAMU Houston Area Alumni Association is the official alumni chapter of Alabama A&M University in Houston Area. We are associated with the national Alumni Association in Huntsville. We raise money to give back to Alabama A&M University and its student by way of scholarship opportunities.

Greetings Alumni,
This is Daryl Upshaw a 2006 graduate of AAMU and a resident of Katy, TX. I am thrilled
& honored to serve as President of Houston Area Alumni Chapter of Alabama A&M
University for the 2024-2026 term.
Much appreciation to outgoing President Faith Washington who did an outstanding job
leading our chapter for the past 4 years. I look forward to working with you to help
elevate the Houston Area Alumni Chapter to the next level as we find innovative ways to
provide support to area students/alumni throughout the Houston area. As I look ahead
to what our chapter will do and become, it’s important that we continue to embark on the
traditions and foundations of the university, after all AAMU will be celebrating 150 years
of education, service, and excellence in 2025!
I look forward to meeting many of you at a future event and invite you to join us via
Zoom for our monthly meeting which are held 3rd Saturdays of each month @ 4 p.m.
Thank you for the opportunity to lead the Houston Area Chapter. Together we will
celebrate, learn, support & serve throughout the Houston area with our community,
fellow and future bulldogs.
One Hill, One Family!
Daryl Upshaw, Jr.
